In 64 there was a special cable used to release the seat backs. This cable ran 
from the bottom front of the door openings to the inside rear of the seat rails 
on each side. I think if you open your door and look at the bottom front of the 
opening you'll see a little lever there which used to operate this cable.

This was a feature on early type 3s that has always failed by now. They were 
very troublesome. 

I wonder if ANYONE out there has an early type 3 with these seat back releases 
working?

I may have some late ones. Those before 68 are different, but I suspect that 
the only difference might be the shaft where it fits to the winder knob. Does 
anyone know for sure?
