How to finish edges GRP seats.
Sebastian - 19/1/11 at 05:22 PM

I have the GRP seats like the ones from MK, but i was wondering how you guys finish the edges of the harness holes i have the standard rubber u trim but the radius of the corners are to small so it bulges in the corners and i don't want to make the holes bigger.

Anyone got any ideas or pictures of finished seats.

Thanks.

My MK has similar seats and has no protection for the belts, it has been around for a while and this doesn't appear to have caused any chafing. It is though an area I had in mind to upgrade and can see the problem.

I saw a photo somewhere recently, maybe on here, with the front edge of this style seat trimed as you describe. I wondered if this was an IVA requirement.

I used proper edge trim. Auto Trim in Leicester (have a look on ebay) supply the stuff, you can also order if from ebay. I think I used about 3.5 meters per seat (off top of my head).

Triton seats have moulded edges to the slots and all face backwards rather than a rough cut hole with some iffy looking edge trim on it to protect the belts...it's the small things that make the difference
