Seat Clips

Postby pit_stop » Fri 20.05.2005, 21:46

This may be a very daft question but...........<br><br>I keep going through seat clips (the little metal things which clip into the underside of the frame and hold the foam up). I've tried making some and they break. I guess they must be toughened in some way.  Anyway I'd like the easy option of just buying a few. Can anyone suggest a supplier for what I figure must be a pretty readily accessible / universal part please ???<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>PS I'm only 11 stone just in case you were wondering !

Many thanks to all, I'll get it sorted. Once I have I'll go for a few burgers obviously. just so I can see how much strain these clips will take !!  Thanks again.

That's right, I'm a muscular (14-stone) 200-lbs 6'1" & blew-out my back.  Have you ever noticed how thin chiropractors are?  Must be a reason.

To anyone with a series 1 and £89.61 + VAT, I would recommend replacing the clip sprung rubber base with an S2 solid seat base - much more comfortable, and no clip replacing problems,
