Help! Seat mounting frame needed!

On or around Tue, 18 Jan 2005 11:28:15 -0000, Aled enlightened us thusly:

weld it up, that's what I did. The covering all comes off and also the foam bit and the springs. the back end of the seat frame was what broke on mine.

Ah, now see, I think we're getting our wires crossed, as it were. If you unbolt the seat from the frame underneath, it's the frame itself that's broken - beneath the runners, the bit right down at the bottom that bolts onto the car itself. It's now broken in two places, at the back where it was once welded before, and now at the front, where the metal's finally given in and bent badly out of shape.

Gah. East London is sorely lacking in Landrover-friendly scrapyards. Plenty of Japanese stuff. Anyone know of a good scrappy dahn Sarf? East London/South East/Brighton? Anywhere down here really.

Cheers, Aled.

Weld it, cost me £30 to be done by local garage, 1/2hour job 110 CSW 300 Tdi

Weld it, did me mates and its still OK and he ain't little. (I mean he is a heavy person, not someone who is in need of an extension like I'm still getting emails about)

Hi guys.

Thanks for the advice. I've got about 6 wrecking yards to call tomorrow,=20 and 2 possible "friendly" welders who'll sort me out.

I also had a price from the dealer for =A3450 + VAT. Which is _absolutely_= =20 _extortionate_!=20

Hopefully I can find a half-wrecked Disco somewhere that I can nick bits=20 off as I could also do with a latch assembly (haven't forgotten you=20 Richard, though my order's going to be delayed as I've had confirmation=20 that I'm to move back to Wales in about 8 weeks).

Next month's break-the-bank-with-a-Landy challenge is to get all the=20 bits I need ready for a pre-trip-service in prep for my 500-mile trip to=20 Kinlochleven in March. Yay for SARDA Scotland[1]! :)

Cheers, Aled.
