A few more bits of info I forgot to include with the first post:

1)  The 4kq seats use a gear ass'y on the side of the seat to raise the
adjust knob above the diff tunnel.  This ass'y is held to the seat back with
upper/lower screws.  The upper screw goes into a bushing that is press fit
into the seat frame and tapped to accept the screw.  The CGT seat backs do
not have this bushing, and the 4kq seat backs only have it on their
respective console sides.  Phantom cost cutting at its finest.

2)  If you can get a perfect condition CGT passenger seat for your 4kq, an
easy swap strategy is to use the complete CGT, and then to swap your 4kq pass
seat back onto your driver seat.

3)  Make sure you cut off and save the fabric from the back of your dead
seat.  It's valuable for spot repairs or for replacing a small section.

That should be it.
