What is the correct seat side cover for an early (September) built Javelin - short or long? Thanks - JJ

Short.........long are late and sold as replacements...the long ones were a warranty nightmare, since they were always broken.

"Long" style are the only correct trim for 1970 model year. The "short" style were the warranty replacement pieces and the style used in 1971. AMark sells a excellent reproduction "long" style.

I was under the impression that the long ones were early 70 production and the short ones late 70. In any event, the long ones are correct for your application and the ones from Amark are gorgeous and far better than the originals. I bought some silver trim for them from APD and they look very nice.

My recollection is the same as CCOWX. Long originally on the lower seat cushion, which were frequently broken. Replaced with the stubby piece.

"The early style was wider (taller?) than the later style." And the front mounting screw was shot directly into the seat frame as opposed to the metal 'tag' that hangs below the frame. Mike

So the ones Amark produces are the warranty replacements, rather than the factory fit piece? For early 1970 of course, August production in this case.
Thanks! Chris
