Title: Plastic Seat Surrounds (FC) Post by: Emu on October 17, 2003, 01:53:31 AM 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? Matt F P.S. R there any good second handies out there? Title: Re: Plastic Seat Surrounds (FC) Post by: craiga on October 17, 2003, 02:37:51 AM 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/ cheers, Craig. Title: Re: Plastic Seat Surrounds (FC) Post by: jodstar1 on October 17, 2003, 04:08:03 AM 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. Title: Re: Plastic Seat Surrounds (FC) Post by: ChrisB on October 17, 2003, 09:08:00 AM 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

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.

It sounds like you may have FB-EK seat surrounds as they are metal. Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: Plastic Seat Surrounds (FC) Post by: MikeM on October 29, 2003, 06:53:04 AM Thanx Ace,
This would make sense as the car did have a lot of EKisms when I bought it (EK bonnet emblem etc). Cheers Mike |
