Hello,
I'm new here - so firstly hello everyone!
I recently became a defender owner for the first time, and am looking forward to slowly building my skills to look after and improve it.
We've got a 1998 110, 300tdi, with just front seats at the mo, and (one) of my first jobs was to add a seat in the back so that my wife and I can take our 2 year old with us occasionally (its not our daily driver but we'd like to all be able to travel together sometimes). So my plan was to fit a loc and fold seat in the back, for my wife or I, so we can have the child seat in the front passenger seat. The reason for the loc and fold is to maximise load space the rest of the time as the main other function is picking up building materials etc.
so...getting to the point...I found and bought a second hand loc and fold seat at a reasonable price...but its the seat only with no parts/brackets etc. I bought it thinking exmoor trim would supply parts no problem - but contacted them and its an old model that they don't have parts for anymore. So Im wondering if anyone has ideas where else might sell parts? Or where i could look for technical drawings of the parts so I could try and fabricate them myself? Or does anyone have the same loc and fold and could take some detailed photos with dimensions that i could aim to copy? Or of course best case scenario does someone happen to have spare parts knocking around i could buy? (unlikely i know!)
Attached are photos of the seat to help identify the model.
Im not even sure exactly what parts are missing so any guidance is very welcome.
Just thought i'd put it out there as i'd really like to try and make the seat work if i can...
I have asked Exmoor to share drawings or even a parts list but i haven't had a response yet.
Thanks for reading,
J
