Rusted seat holding down clamps?

Post by zagatoman »

Just been out in the morris and my seat started to rock around while driving and eventually came loose altogether. On inspection I found the clamps that hold the seat down had rusted and cracked and eventually broken. I have never seen this happen before on all the minors I have had before, is this something that happens?

Looking to replace all four seat holding down clamps so if anyone has a few kicking around can you drop me a line.

I would advise you to check the area of floor that these clamps bolt to as well by lifting the carpet.

Here's a link to what I thought were new ones. Turns out they are reconditioned IE second hand & painted!
