Title: Front Seat Spacers
Post by: KFH on April 04, 2009, 10:46:21 PM
The four plastic? seat spacers under the front seat are not in the best of condition.  Are new ones available or what is the preferred method of replacing them?

Gday ,I'm only new to the FE-FC game but the ones that were in my car were wood. I kept 1 good one and used it as a template on a large plastic 10mm thick chopping board. Worked a treat  ;)

Cheers,

Azz.

I have seen them cut out in plywood (presumably with a jigsaw) & primed with what looked like etch primer, not sure if they were the forerunner to the plastic, or if they replaced some brocken plastic units.

Don't know of anyone that repros them though.

The early FE ones were made of plywood, then changed to plastic - just sold my last set.
I have 1 front one left.

Chopping board sounds like a keeper for plastic replacement parts....especially since they come in about 10 or more colours  :)

Wife will be wondering - where is that red chopping board??  ;D

Or at the very least, "This chopping board seems unusually short...?"

Thanks for the replies.  When the wife goes shopping the chopping board might dissapear.
