That possibly answers what L trim is, ie cloth seats and vinyl doortrims. This aligns with what git states about 14L from HG parts catalogue amendment. K is possibly the opposite?

I think Dave is correct Terry. I've only ever seen them in HT.

One other question, Mr git: Did all Broughams get the Brocade (or Bavere in HG) mandatory cloth seat trim, or were vinyl seat trims available as a delete option ?

Greetings Dr Terry, Nice to see someone else with a soft spot for the ultimate Holden car of the day. The Brougham came standard with many features optional on other models such as biggest engine, automatic transmission, power disc brakes, power steering, cloth seats and so forth. The seats were cloth faced with map pockets in the rear of the fronts. In all other models where available, XS9 was the cloth seat trim option code but this was an included standard feature in Brougham.

During HT, the option of all vinyl seat trim was made available on Brougham. There were different trim codes for these cars but that alone would not reflect the interior trim as the cloth on the door trims needed to be removed (vinyl trim Broughams have different all vinyl door trims to cloth trim Broughams with cloth and vinyl door trims). Enter XT8 as the code to remove all traces of cloth trim inside a Brougham. The official name of XT8 is VINYL TRIM. XS9 is CLOTH TRIM but there is no way to delete XS9 as it is itself an option code. XT8 would be unique to the Brougham.

Is there any other Holden that had an option code exclusive to it that wasn't used on any other car in the range like XT8 in Brougham?

Are you the one who bought the HG selling manual at Warwick?

There will be heaps of them, a few examples:
DL7 - delete stripes on HZ Sandman, which you could actually order. You couldn't actually "option" XT8 as such though? It was a code generated by applying a trim code.
A09 - fixed side windows on HQ and HJ vans.
C32 - delete lower and upper tailgates on HQ and HJ vans.
XY5 - Sandman white decals on HJ Sandman.
XY7 - appearance package on 1-tonner.

thats an interesting one simon.

i have wrecked & stripped out over 100 hktg vans & have never ever seen one without a rear vision mirror. has anyone else??

HD ute is th latest model ive ever seen with no rear vision mirror or left sunvisor (& no holes in original rooflining)

In the HG ordering specifications it states that the internal rear vision mirror was optional on panel vans and not a standard item.

D43 isn't in HG commercial or passenger order procedures. In HG commercial order procedure DG1 is there. DG1 is passenger side door mirror, this was mandatory for all commercial vehicles registered in QLD, VIC, TAS and WA except where D44 (fender mounted mirror) is specified. However D44 isn't listed as an option either.

Greetings, The "Other Options" section has D43 listed as a van didn't have an internal mirror as standard. This was the only vehicle to which this option was relevant.

My 77 HZ Ambulance pack had no interior rear view mirror when I purchased it new. I fitted one myself.

I believe that they finally became standard sometime mid-HZ.
