Where the harnesses pass through the shoulder part of the seat there are two pairs of plastic rectangles that are held together with what look like plastic pegs. Well I've lost a few, so does anyone know where I can get some?

Mine are shot aswell.
You could try Martyn on here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?mem... and if he can supply, ask for a group buy as I need four. wink

Bear with me guys, been in touch with Martyn but it seems as though there are two types - UK and after some of the production, SA decided to source their own, which as you might have guessed are a different size rolleyes

I'm just trying to establish with Martyn how we can tell which we have and I'll report back.

Amazing how something so simple can become such a hardship!!!

Oh and just to add, the pins/pegs - whatever we want to call them - should be the same as those fastening the steering cover fabric to the column cowling. So if, like me, you're missing some of those too, then we might be able to kill 2 thingys with 1 wassname biggrin

Ok so Martyn has very kindly sent me some of the SA pins that he had knocking around at work and I have around 18 spare used pins that I can post out on a '1st come, 1st served' basis.

Basically the head of the SA pins measure a fraction under 10mm across (9.85 to be exact), if yours are this size then email me with your address and the quantity you need and I'll post them out to you.

Please be fair and only ask for the amount you need, as it seems there are quite a few of us that need replacements!!

Each plastic pair of rectangles has 2 pins holding them together. There are 2 of these assys per seat so the most you would need would be 8 for both seats.

They are the same pins that hold the fabric to the steering column cowl also and I think there are 8 holding this on also. I have 1 missing from there hence why I enquired originally.

I did find 1 pin tucked behind the seat so have a rummage around in case these all go too quickly!

To all those who contacted me, I have sent your pins out today. Apologies for the delay but couldn't get to PO any earlier and the envelopes were just a fraction over 'standard letter' thickness so couldn't just pop them in a letterbox.

To anyone else who may need some, I have 10 remaining that I don't need now. They are slightly bent as I've tried to send out the better condition ones. They're still completely useable mind you and you wouldn't know when they're fitted.

If not, I'll hang onto them in case this gets bumped in weeks/months to come.....
