Post by: metz on March 24, 2014, 06:31:16 PM

You just have to reattach the cable to the latch mate

I had this problem, one of the cables snapped, luckily I got some good g40 seats for very cheap and changed bits across

However you can buy a cheap normal polo seat, rob the base from it, strip yours down and put the foam and fabric onto it, could save some money as you would only need a cheap ass normal base

You may need a hog ring tool and a few hog rings though, but gotta be quicker than finding a G base

Saying that rich on here is breaking his G but I would have thought the right hand seat would be non adjustable as it's a left hooked

cheers for that Sam i wasnt sure. its not the cable thats snapped Ben. Its the metal tube the backrest mech clips over to secure the seat. it can be welded i just dont know anyone round here who could do it.
