Griffith Seats

Does anyone know what the donor was for the Griffith seats?
Or, has anyone got a crappy old seat they want to sell?
I need some parts for the squab frame.
Cheers
Dave

I'm after all the metal ties and springs that hold the foam in shape and perhaps the bottom frame. Before I bought the car it had been left outside for 2 years and the damp in the carpets has rusted everything away.

Your best bet is to find a car upholsterer, the can probably supply you with something suitable to replace them with. I would look to get some webbing rather than the wire that Tvr used as it tends to just cut into the foam.

I have looked into this and have come to the conclusion that they are basically a Land Rover item!. I have a Defender (circa 20 years old) and the seats and reclining mechanism when compared to the Griff are identical! The runner mechanism is different and the seat squab on the LR pops out, but I think the general frame and mechanism is so similar. The headrest is Jaguar/Land Rover. Regards, Pete

Thanks for the advice guys
I stripped the seat today and it's worse than I thought. The whole mechanism is rusted solid and the frame is in a bad way
Looks like it's new seat time, 77racing - I've PM'd you
Thanks

Dave,
I have a spare griff driver's seat (with adjustable lumbar support) - it's a sort of fawn colour. It may need re-upholstering as there are one or two "dents" in the leather (though someone who knows how might be able to get them out). Let me know if you're interested. I bought it a couple of years ago for £100 when the ratchet went on my original seat (thinking I'd get it re-upholstered in magnolia) but I managed to find a replacement ratchet mechanism so the spare seat has just sat in my loft ever since. Open to offers if you're interested.
