Driver's Seat Hinge Cover

[Sandgrounder]

Hello all, I'm looking for a hinge cover for the drivers seat. I am told Chimaera and S seats use the same cover.

Has anyone got a spare they don't need (or want to sell) or some scrap seats with the cover still intact?

Many thanks,

Graham

How bad is yours (if you have one at all), could it be mended ?

Hi Mike, mine is missing on driver's side. Tried David Geralds, but no joy.
I have tried previously on S forum so thought I might try Chim now that I know they are the same cover!

Good luck !



Surprised no one has suggested "3D printer" ?

I have no idea how they work, how do you get the details into it, do you need a block of plastic at least as big as the finished item, etc. etc.

If someone has the answers (and a printer) I might have a pattern to work from

The original item has to either be scanned or drawn in a CAD package. The resulting file is then sent to the 3D printer which builds the item up layer by layer.

Glen, if it is the same part, then I am extremely grateful!

I am a bit surprised that nobody from the S fraternity was aware of this!!

I will order one to see if it fits, then let the S world know.

Many thanks,

Graham

that's just the passenger side, don't think TVR parts do the drivers side
