    Default Deciphering an Antares serial number

    Can anyone tell me what this stands for?

    C 2A 18 XL
    06 1162

    C - ?
    2A - flap length/forwardness
    18 - seat size
    XL - ?
    06 - year of manufactor
    1162 - ?? Maybe unique identifier?

    I'm guessing the C and XL refer to tree size and panel types? It's a pretty standard Medium tree to look at it...

    Thanks!!
    In the depths of time, the words uttered by early man as they leaped for the first time onto a prey animal with a brain the size of a golf ball, were undoubtedly, "Hold my beer and watch this...!"

    The C refers to the seat depth or width. Mine is an L, which is the wider twist. The C is the deep seat, I think, and SC is the half-deep.

    2A is a normal flap length, slightly more forward (N is regular, AA is more forward, AAA is reeeally forward).

    18- seat size

    XL probably refers to the panels, though I suppose it could be the tree width as well. Antares have changed how their serial numbers appear over the years so it can be difficult.

    06- made in 2006
    1162- it's the 1162nd saddle made in 2006.
