Hi CJ,
are you replacing the ZT seats with Rover Connie style ones, other sport seats or what?

Regarding the towing feed, I understand that the other end is near the engine fuse box (See thread http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=26669) so it may just need wiring into that. The orange / grey wire looks quite beefy.

Regards,
Kearton

I saw just the thread the other day!!
Someone had upgraded seats without looms
Could be somewhere here http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...earchid=749601

Trouble generally with a search, is Posters don't put enough info the Title.
Consequently threads are harder to find
Good luck John

Efreeti wrote a very good article: 'Retrofitting electric seats without the standard loom'. It wasn't where I expected it to be, but I managed to find it via a separate reference.

This other thread may help too (http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=21552).
