Ferrari 400 Seat Adjuster - Hinge - Trim / Cover Set - Compatability

It only became known to me very recent the seat hinge covers used are the same as the ones in the Fiat 124 spider by Pininfarina, 1966 - 1978, Fiat 124 coupe and Alfa Romeo 1750-2000 GTV Bertone. Which is good news as these cars were produced in large numbers. I therefore also suspect the actual mechanism to adjust the chair is similar but for now this is not known to me. Note that on the 400 they have the chair adjustment knob on the innerside while on the Fiat it's on the outside. And the 412 seats are electrical adjustable and thus have both covers closed since there is no adjustment knob.

These covers can be found online in various shops and I suspect they are all new reproductions. They are only available in black plastic so you will need to chrome them for the 400 series.

Alternatively, you can contact this French person who is going to reproduce them as well (and the tool suitecaseholder as well). See ferrarichat post:

The original part numbers are: 

Cover outside: 1905383 passenger seat
Cover inside: 1905384 passenger seat

Cover outside: 1905385 driver seat
Cover inside: 1905386 drivers seat

I also checked this on the Pininfarina part list for the Ferrari 412






All the various parts for the seats are numbered except the hinge cover plates?
