WANTED - DRIVERS SEAT!!

[Cerb420James]

Anyone have a spare seat going?

in an ideal world a grey one with red piping but I have a trimmer that can work wonders if need be - my existing one has been welded into a fixed position!

Swap over passenger and drivers seats?

Hi Adam,

That’s what has been done already.

I’m restoring the seats at the moment so wanted to fix the recliner or get a replacement frame for the “repaired” one

These are at TVR Central FYI not mine but may help? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-400-SERIES-SEATS/27...

Might be incorrect but the chap I bought my 350 off at the weekend said the seats were Metro with extra bolsters in the padding.
He'd owned the car for 14 years and knew a good bit about sourcing parts.....

Thanks for the tip. I am struggling to find a seat that has the spring loaded back rest. Most seem to have the winder on the side.

Something will turn up hopefully.

Those ones on eBay are just too expensive - I’ll think of something but in the mean time if someone does find something in the garage I could use...

I've heard that the SEAC seats were from a Montego and they look similar to the seats on my 390SE.

Upgrade to Recaro's..

Tempting but at £800 per seat I can’t justify it.

Having the hood replaced at the moment. If I can restore the seats I have I’ll be happy - I have managed to remove all of the “upholstery paint” and luckily the materials underneath are in pretty good shape. Just a few parts of the leather need some work.

I’ll put some pictures up when I get a moment

From memory the side spring is the same as the Fiat X19.....worth double checking if you just need the spring???
