Help !!! I am looking for a knob !!

[cantus]

One of my SEAC seat knobs is broken . I am looking for a new (second hand) one.
What make is it ? Or, does someone has a spare for me ?

Thanks in advance

Never seen one of those before. Replacemet seats maybe?

[cantus]

Could be ! The car is from 1988. So maybe TVR changed seats to a different model.

Looks like ford escort xr3i seat knob....
Had once these seats in one of my daily run-arounds at the end of the '80's. Perhaps other ford stuff could fit the as well, and perhaps you can find two if you can't find one to have a matched pair.
Other solution: super glue? Or do you think you would glue yourself to the wedge/knob. Probably you could live with that given your basic wedge enthousiasm.

They look like the ones I had in my 1987 Ford Orion They were a different colour but they could be a standard Ford part so you might find them on other Fords of a similar vintage.

Good luck at the scrappy!!

i think the neigbours, Anno and Berry from AHB-tuning can help you out on this they know a lot about this kind of cars!!! (and all kind of cars, especially american V8's)

Definately Escort/orion vintage, know those knobs well.

Hi. I don't think your seats are aftermarket as I have exactly the same knobs on the seats on my 1988 build SEAC. These seat are different from those usually found on a 400Se. I remember being told the seats are fron an Austin Montego - probably an upmarket model. I suspect this is correct as the subframes for my seats still have an original Austin Rover sticker on them.

its from a austin montego i worked at a rover dealership in the late 80s
just checked with my next door neighbours montego turbo and its the same

Thank you all !! I know where to go now !! The scrapyard to check Austin/Rover & Fords
thanks
William
