Hi guys
I have recently had my seats retrimmed by Bob Fettes. He suggested that we need new webbing.
Is it better to use straps or go for the diaphragm?
Cheers
I can't see how to add a photo!

Re: Seat webbing
The diaphragm will probably require new hook holes to be drilled in the seat frame as the hole spacings are different.
I personally prefer the straps as they are easier to fit and easy to replace should it be required.

Re: Seat webbing
I found the easiest way to fit the straps was to locate the hooks in the holes on one side then grip between the other hooks with a pair of pliers and pull the strap towards you until the hooks locate. Works a treat!

Re: Seat webbing
Sorry, bit late with this one. My seats are actually MGB seats, but very similar construction. I restored them about two years ago with diaphragms, but these have already disintegrated - despite the car being off the road! I've now fitted webbing. I overcame the stretching problem by attaching strong cable ties to the webbing loops and using these as a handhold to pull it taut enough to engage the hooks. Where necessary I also used a ratchet clamp to pull the last few millimeters - sorry, no photograph to illustrate this!
