seat webbing clips P1800

[CLIVERALLY]

Anyone know where to get the wire clips that fit the webbing strap into the seat frame -- I have bust one or its died of fatigue thro my fat ar+e and being there 40 odd years



Looked on Woolies site but could not see them

I only need one -- has anyone got one they could part with?

If they are the same as the Amazon ones, I know the 1800 has individual straps, should be easy to bend one up from a piece of a good wire coat hanger.

That's fine Clive, really. I had a distributor fixed for nought last year - just passing on the Volvo good karma!!!

I tried the coat hanger trick last year with my Amazon and one let go at an inoportune moment. A visit to my local sofa reupholstery chap provided new clips, as used in home furniture, that were almost identical and worked perfectly with a slight tweak. I also bought new webbing from him for a fraction of the price of the Pirelli stuff. Result: Nice comfy seats again.

may be a fraction of the durability too - but I'd be interested to hear what it's like
