Seats parts for a donation - SOLD

[mitreklov]

I was fortunate to acquire some half decent leather yellow strip seats for my SE recently and as a consequence I have the following items left over.

1 x complete seat, leather with the yellow stripe. The cover is pretty poor but the frame, diaphragms and subframe are ok, there are a few of the metal clips missing. I have used the seatbelt stalk as my originals were in a port state.

I had to disassemble the other seat to extract the foam cushions so it's still in bits as per the photos.

I have no use for these now and they will only take up valuable space in the garage, but before I take them to the be recycled I thought I'd offer them here just in case anyone wanted them or parts of them.
I'm asking no more than a donation to LEC from anyone who wants any bits. I'd rather not get into shipping large items of of metal and leather around the country so if you are interested you'll have to come and get them, arrange collection or meet up somewhere and swap them. I'm in East Sussex.

PM me if you are interested, I can take more pictures if you need them.

Yep, those metal clips do have a tendency to break. I overcame that by drilling through the tubular frame and replacing any broken or missing clips with a loop of fence wire twisted securely to provide the necessary tension. Whilst I had the seat apart, I took out the rubber suspension platform from beneath the foam, and reinforced the two edges with duct tape (each side of the clip positions) to assist the hession which was beginning to fray. Care was needed to ensure the loadbearing rod was positioned so as not to project through the fabric at the rear of the seat. Its not as pretty as it was underneath (but who can see into a one inch gap?) but boy is it more comfortable.
