2 pound adjuster?

What's that, do I need one in my life?

I took it to mean:

Ah, I have plenty of them suplemented by a "gentle squeezer" (crowbar) .

Agghh that would explain you still being able to refit your engine even though your boy had pilfered your tool box

Any update on the fitting of the seats. Do they fit?

Here's a copy of the email response I sent you Barrie, I've just re-sent it.

Hi Barrie,

I've not tried them yet but I'm confident they will fit as all the fundamental measurements check out Ok.

But some fine tuning will certainly be required.

There are some brackets that need trimming off, the inner pivot cover will need to be left off & the seatbelt anchor is attached to the seat on the XJS so that must go too.

It's also likely the rails will need adjusting or swapping over from my original TVR seats.

So please don't just assume they'll drop straight in, but like I say I see no significant reason why they shouldn't fit after a few tweaks here and there.

I'll update the post as soon as I done the trial fit.

Best regard, Dave.

Alex did a great job, taking the interior to pieces and checking everything out with a multimeter. The main areas were the transmission tunnel wiring and the lower (radio) dash area. Lots of soldering, and I need new ribbon cables and centre console gaiters. Loads of chewed wires etc. He's a gem...

Looks good and I bet they are comfy just what's needed for those long journeys

My original seats are perfect Gregor.

I'm just fitting the XJS seats because they are more comfortable & supportive.

[brett84]

hows the fit width wise? they look quite a lot wider than standard? Comfy and good lumbar though

No vat on that !

[phazed]

Standard seats are rubbish, the XJS are comfy with better support.

[vaurien]

I know the XJS seat very well as pre, facelift and XJR-S version because I have some
