    The "B" certainly doesn't mean bucket on the end of the trim code.

    On a HQ Belmont B trim doesn't mean "buckets" but B trim is bucket seats, A is bench.

    E is both bench and buckets on Kingswood. I think the B was needed as different vinyl was used on Belmont buckets compared to bench whereas Kingswood used the same vinyl for both.

    Might have been, or it could be as simple as different door trims.

    Pretty sure it was the seats. It isn't just a HQ thing either, goes back into HG as well.

    Looks great! The colour is unreal.
    We also have just started restoring 1973 Belmont, Brissy built. Our trim is A, however, the seats that came with it, are more like two seats, with a centre arm rest that folds back to become a bench seat. Not sure if this is the original style bench seat that the A trim code refers to?
