I checked my seats in the red wagon and this is how it looks. It's pointing outwards instead of upwardsand this is factory stuff too.

The pictures from my convertible shows it very well. After the hinge the piping is pointing outwards.

On my white seats they are pointing upwards and outwards.

My guess is that it all depended on the personell on the assembly line. It they didn't put the piping right when they added the cover over the seat foam the piping was pointing different ways. It might be that the manufacturers that supplayed the sewn seat covers did "iron" the piping to Point upwards but if the guys and gals at the line didn't pay to much attension the piping could Point in different ways. Best Picture of it is the black seats in the convertible.

I'm not talking about 1964 bumper jacks. Nothing about the '65-and-earlier spring would prevent its use with the type of jack you have. The difference is at the bottom end of the spring. The '66-up spring has the full circular loop for the jack handle to go through. The earlier spring has a U-bend with a horizontal "tail".

OK, got ya! Perhaps the 66 spring can be redone do 1965 specs with a picture on how the 1965 spring looks. Dan! I checked the partsbook too but no info about springs. I don't have all the TSC sheets but the ones that I have doesn't show anything either. :banghead:
