Reply #3 – May 13, 2020, 10:08:34 AM Have you tried Matt Palmer, MK2 spares?There’s probably a lot of people not selling right now, I’ve got things I need to eBay but stashing in the garage but I’m not currently inviting strangers to my home, or making unnecessary trips to the post office.Just hang in there.

Re: Seats 3dr and 5dr the same bases???? Reply #9 – May 20, 2020, 09:35:17 PM Dubstock have looked after me and a height adjustable base is being shipped out to me, I've ordered new seat foam for both front seats direct from Germany. Frustratingly a 30 day order time on foam bases.Add in new cables and runner guides and it's got expensive. Let's hope my butter fingers don't wreck my interior. 1 Likes

Also the back is very similar too except for there being an outer tab that is screwed into the base to stop the seat from hinging forward. The inner fixing of the back has the hinge hooked tab. Obviously the tilt handle and cables would need installing.I'll take some pics later.Now added.https://ibb.co/KXgmxrchttps://ibb.co/wWCYqCw Last Edit: May 21, 2020, 08:51:34 PM by AndyBa
