Thread: Series seat back stops

I can't answer your question however the stops shown seem to be either screwed or riveted in place. It stands to reason that if a stop was meant to be behind the driver's seat, you'd find a set of holes.

True, thanks Crackers.

There are holes, just not the same holes as used for the other seats.

There were only 2 thin rubber bumpers, much like the spare tyre bonnet rubbers , that were fitted to the seat back of the drivers. That was to give max seat travel I think.

Hi slunnie,
Just wondering where you got the tan seat covering from to do your seats ????
How much did you need.
I want to cover my Series 3 seats in the same.
Thanks.

Hi mate, I bought it from the foam and rubber shop in Bathurst. I'm sure Clark rubber etc supply the same. They supplied the cushion foam and the vinyl. The vinyl specifically is a more UV stable type for automotive applications. I can't recall the length but I did fit 2 cushions wide on the roll when making them.

This is what mine looks like. They almost look like door stops from a hardware but were on it when I got it.

Hi Simon

Just one question.

Does your driver's seat have the adjustable track and frame under the cushion? If it does then you won't have the brackets and buffers on the top of the transom.

You will find that there is also a couple of rubber stops on the hinges between the seat cushion and squab that restrict rearward movement of the squab, these often wear out or need replacement. (if the stops are intact, then the driver's seat sits at the same rake angle as the other seats, just it may be fore or aft of the alignment of the other two seats.)

The other possibility is that a tall previous owner has removed the brackets, to allow more upper body room.
