new seat pin guides

Post by james butler »

after having my seats trimmed in leather i found out the trimmer had broken both the guides that the seat pins to drop the rear seats go through.
it seems these arent available from anywhere anymore and are near impossible to remove without breaking them so second hand ones are rare!

so i thought it time to make some.

:buddy: cheers mark
it was really annoying to go through all the retrim to be let down by a poxy clip that sits in full view of the rear windows.
im hoping essextom is going to be making some soon so theyre no longer NLA
