Does anyone make a good repro of the flimsy black plastic seat surrounds from the bottom of the front seat of an FC?
If so r they any good?

P.S. R there any good second handies out there?
Harrison's in QLD have them, reproduced in fibreglass. I have seen them and they look good (although no mounting holes are included) and guys who have purchased them have indicated that they were satisfied.
Harrisons are at http://www.workin4u.com/earlyspares/

Isn't it funny how when the smallest amount of "plastic"
used on these classics, breaks down and is hard to replace.
New cars will just be a memory in 50 years.
Matt, I have used these parts from Harrisons and I was very happy, I had to dress the join in the fiberglass and then repainted them in a satin - matt type finish, you cant see the join and look a treat. The holes for the screws and chrome strip are indented on them, makes it too easy

Thanks guys for the info.
Sounds like Harrison's are the go.
Yeh Jodstar, I don't know who at GM thought that the plastic would be a good idea for the area that gets the crap kicked out of it!
Probably the same guy who thought it was a good idea to have the tailgate close over the top section on the Wagon.
Thanks again for the help.

Guys, Iam curious as I have one only of these at the moment, but mine is metal with a green vinyl type of cover, is this not FC?
Hi MikeM,
It sounds like you may have FB-EK seat surrounds as they are metal.

Thanx Ace,
This would make sense as the car did have a lot of EKisms when I bought it (EK bonnet emblem etc).
Cheers
