Gary here's a picture of my seat stop cable washer with measurements added. I posted this a while back but can't find the thread right now, not sure if it was here or at TC. The max thickness was from a flat horizontal surface, so picked up the overall as-stamped dimension, but don't think I measured the thickness of the flat plate from which it was stamped.....

Thanks Tim... :)  ...    a fairly complex and large washer...  Was there only one used on each cable, or was there one used on each end of the cable (adjacent to the upholstery, under the cable/nut??  I suppose) to prevent chaffing on the upholstery??

If your washer dimensions were not archived here before, they are now... :)

That's right Gary, one cable per car (passenger side only) and one washer as pictured used, located on the seat base to protect the upholstery. The upper end of the cable was attached directly to the inside of the seat hinge arm. There's some good detail pictures posted in this thread: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=8970.0;all

It doesn't appear that my car's passenger seat ever had such a cable.   There is no evidence that a cable was ever installed (see photo attached).  Mine is a 'late' 09C (built 18Sep1969) car that I purchased in April 1976.  The seats were worn/faded at the time I purchased the car; it's been garaged since; not driven since 1980.  I do not believe 'reproduction seat covers' were available in the '76 timeframe, because I was looking to replace my worn/faded covers and had no success.

It seems there's a possibility that Fisher made a 'model change' to their seat specs during these late months.  Did 1970 models employ such a cable??  I don't recall the '70 Z28 I owned in the early 80s to have such a cable either.

Does anyone with a late '69 car have an original cable in their car?   If you have a 'late' '69 Camaro (Sept-Dec), please let us know the est build week and originality of your car and if it had a cable in it when purchased?

thanks

Thank you, Steve;
I just received the seat cables for my and also my friend's car - just perfect. Correct shade of color and like the thick ends too. :)
THANKS AGAIN!

This is great, for information.   Was the cable standard on the 67? I never knew there was a cable ever, I'm only asking as if this is original?

Standard for all three years, but ONLY on the passenger seat.
