Hi all,

I bought a pair of new outer seat backs to replace my crappy old ones.
They arrived today...I notice they are ****Part ones.

Problem is..the original seat backs are connected to the frame by a bolt that goes into the metal seat back frame. See pic:



The new ones seem to have a wooden frame inside (considerably lighter than the OEM ones)...so there is no hole for a bolt to fix to the frame. See pic:



Can anyone confirm if these ****Part ones are in fact wooden inside...and what sort of fixing should I use to go through the original metal bracket (I can't put a nut on the end of a bolt without ripping the seat open??

Cheers

I got exmoor trim ones that also didn't have a hole since I wanted the pin type they got sent back.
But it seemed like they had a hole under the vinyl for the bolt. Have you tried feeling for the hole?

(the exmoor ones were metal framed)

Thanks!
You are correct..I hadn't thought there might be a hole under the material. There is..and it appears to be threaded for a bolt - which solves my problem....I prefer having a bolt than a pin to secure it. It does appear to be a plastic frame inside too...significantly lighter and less substantial that the original LR part....but a lot cheaper too !
