There's a chance that Central TVR may know, as they advertise Chimaera seats for sale.
Nothing to lose by giving Adrian a call

Exactly what part do you mean?

The entire seat, the hinge complete, or just that cover?

The cover is available from TVR Parts

Yes they are handed. From the photo I'd say that is a left hand (passenger side) , the one that doesn't get broken anywhere near as often.



They are also found on Fiat X19 seats. His price shot up after I purchased a pair and messaged him to say I thought I was buying new old stock not second hand items but they looked better than nothing on my TVR !


How badly broken is yours? I've repaired one or two in the past ..

Ive never really noticed until i took the seats out that it was missing!

If thats a left hand one in the pic,its the one im after anyway

Normally it is the screw hole that 'pulls through'.
Simple repair by bonding a washer on the inside or using a 'fancy' washer on the outside.

What a great find.
So am I right in thinking we have seats made from the same manufacturer Fiat used or our seats are actually based on X1-9 seats.

I nearly got an X1-9 when I was in my twenties as I liked the rear engine aspect.
