Price opinions please

Did they come in two styles - Guinness and Mackeson?

 

Yep the Caffreys ones were rubbish

 

Fleabay certainly shows what people are asking but not what they sell for.
The consensus here seems to be that I should be asking for less than what I've suggested to Mr X of TLB ......

 

£100

 

I've changed from £120 to £80, partly because of the missing runners

I think £80 is a fair price as it looks in pretty decent shape. As @snotty said it's a passenger seat so doesn't have runners.

 

Passenger seats are pretty common consequently much cheaper than drivers as they rarely get worn out, £80 is sensible

 

While we're on the subject of seats I've got a set of early seats in that I'm reupholstering for someone, but they're missing the plastic/foam trim pieces that sit over the top of the frames. From what I can see these aren't available anywhere? Unless @davidoft has a stash of em.

 

the bases you mean , or the backs ? T25 seats aren’t they ?

 

Ah sorry, guess you saw the pics of the T25 seats I've been stripping?
I've another set in the pipeline that are prototype bay seats. It's the plastic trim that sits on the top of the back's frame.

 

I had that type of passenger seat, easily removed they fix into two little brackets which have two positions,
You lift up the front of the squab that unhooks the silver bracket from the bulkhead
They have No runners

 

got a picture, I’ve only seen them with foam there

 

Ah perhaps it's foam rather than plastic then, think we're talking about the same part. I've got a pic somewhere from when I did mine.

 

It’s like a closed cell moulded foam inset..... I have only ever seen one in place before.... I have in the past used a length of 4/5mm metal rod formed/bent to shape & inserted into pre-existing slots in the back of the seat.... post up some pics of the bare seat frames from where the ‘bit’ is missing

 

I suspect that’s what someone’s done in that case.


I reckon I got lucky with my own seats then as I did have the foam bits although one needed glueing together as it was in about 6 bits and the top of the frame on mine was still the pressed steel rather than rod.

Unless that is how the earlier ones were originally? I think the insert only forms the shoulders of the passenger seat as the cover on driver’s is closed back & quite tight to slide over so would, perhaps, ruin the former. Could you not fashion something from some firm foam packaging material that you sometimes get in large parcels?

 

Good idea that.
The covers I took off looked a little floppy in that area so should help make them look a bit nicer.

 

Those elements will heat the seats up nicely. Might need an uprated alternator though.....
