Best Online Source Of Used Parts

Can anyone point me in the direction of good online source of FL2 parts?

I'm after the small leather rear seat base in black leather for my HSE

As far as I can find online most breakers only sell the seats as a complete set, which I'm obviously not intrested in.

Anyone had good success buying second hand parts & where from.


I dread to think what the price of a new one from the main dealers would be Shocked


Thanks in advance

Cheers

Not so much damaged, but looks like a previous owner used a pesky baby seat, with the resulting four contact points making dents which have stretched the leather beyond its limits.

I have applied librel amounts of automotive (Auto Glym) leather balm & massaged it in with vain hope it would restore to its original shape, but to no avail.

Hence I thought second hand seat from a donor FL2 that has been scrapped, but no luck on various searches.

So I was looking for members experiences of purchasing donor parts from online breakers, as I'm don't seem to find any good results.

Hopefully now sorted thanks to Ebay Smile

Offered £70 for a set of rear base seats from an ad for £99

Hopefully if all works well I will sell on the double seat to recoup some of my outlay.

Thanks for the heads up Martyn.

Just fitted my eBay seat base, after a good clean & leather balm looks immaculate.

Niggly nasty looking problem sorted. Mr. Green
