[T3] early seat release cables

[Robert Rogers]

Keep working at it. I finally got the ones on my '67 Fastback to work corrrectly.  The non-working one--does it fail to latch when the door is closed or fail to release when the door is open?  If the mechanism in the door jam is in good working condition and sufficiently moves the attached wire, then the problem surely is in the adjustment under the seat.
