Vitesse front seat, back rest wires

[daverclasper]

 

Hi. The thicker ones that are parallel to the main frame that support the rubber straps etc are ok, though the thinner ones that these and support the foam bearers and give the shape to the front edge are broken up.

Can't find any of usual suspects/trim suppliers who have these. Also can't find anything on Ebay that looks high tensile/springy enough to make some. There is plenty of stainless wire, though says its malleable for sculture/fishing etc.

Any one else had to do this job, or any alternative tips and tricks.

Cheers, Dave

I ended up with a conversion kit when I had my seats repaired

other suppliers do the same kit.
