Replacing VL drivers seat

[evBenji]

Hi ive snapped the axel on my drivers seat 1986 VL executive

At the wreckers i saw a probably 1988 VL calais seat in good condition. They chargin $55 :S

Anyway, are the connections the same??

Would this be an easy switch over??

I guessing its just a 4 allen key bolted component, any other parts to consider?

Cheers for any help, regards

they were locktited in and an allen key head for a socket set helps

some drivers seats dont have height adjustment

[evBenji]

Yeah a rachet would have been nice. One bolt took half hour wif just allen key grrr

the replacement seat is now in and is almost fantastic

there seems to be a slight tilt to the left

is there any way to adjust the axel on the chair to possibly square up the alignment of the back rest?

[siroller]

the frame the seat is on is probably bent from an accident or age. there aren't any adjusters as such.

Longer bolts, and pack it out with washers to bring the leaning side up.

When i changed my seats overe the bolts seized in the thread. Had to cut the frame of the old chair up so i could get enough of a socket in to undo the old bolts. I then replaced them with High-Tensile items.

Yikes sounds pretty messy there mate

was almost sensing a seize on one bolt then yeah would hav been furked and no way could do the fix u did

maybe the bolts should be sprayed with lube a day before or somethin

but yeah will prob try a washer in under to raise

only need about a 2-3mm lift surely the same bolt will be long enough to cover the new distance
