Hello again,
John here again, last week I posted a request for info regarding installing new seat covers on my 914 and was met with a lot of good and friendly advice. Taking the first seat apart resulted in a need for more info and parts. First I stripped a hex nut. Then I went on to destroy it. So I am in need of a couple ( have not taken the other side out yet ) of those dual nut/piercing things. I would also like to purchase a few of the single piercing things. Sorry for the poor description but I don't know whtat they are called. Then I was thinking about buying a whole new seat but my wife says she is happy with hers. Any info anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, John |

It's great that we have folks willing to help by salvaging parts. I'm all for that. It was one of the reasons that I had not made these before. However since I acquired a group of seats I was noticing that some of these parts are a bit rusty, and the metal will fatigue if you bend it enough and it's compromised.
This is why once I started thinking about it These made more sense. The small clips are simple, but the other two have spacing specifically to allow for mounting and foam width, so they are more complicated animals. Once I make the die I might as well do all of them, so yes I will be doing these, just need to figure out how inexpensively I can sell them. |
