seat webbing req & help identifying parts

Post by joolsconstant »

I need 26 seat webs for my traveler. Not sure where to look, have tried ebay.

Also - what is the name of the 3 pieces of wood which hold the headlining in place in my traveler, I need all three but need to know what to ask for. I need the clips too.

Need the rubber that goes between the 1/4 light and door frame.

The 12" metal strip that locks the rear window on the N/S.

any advice or pointers to second hand parts appreciated.

thank you

Here is a link to the MOSS on line catalogue:-

http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/morris/minor

Just go into the relevant section for details of what you want - all the part numbers and descriptions are there.

I would give S/H seat webbing a miss and go for new.

The Morris Minor is probably better served than any other model of classic car by specialist parts suppliers well spread out across the country. If you're a club member then many advertise in the magazine. If you're not then just use google surely? I have never found it difficult to obtain any part for my Minor - just a few phone calls or emails :)

I agree with the above, secondhand seat webbing is likely to be in the same condition as your own.

Some now sell a rubber diaphragm to fit instead of the webbing and although I have not used it - I would if I needed to repair a seat. Renew the foam too - it crumbles with age.

I always replace the webbing with standard seat webbing purchased from an upholstery. This lasts better and does not stretch with age .

I have done this on quite a number ofcseats over the years. You need to use the metal clips from the old ones and make up to length

I tried that - 'making them up' was not easy getting clips etc in the webbing and securing them. The diaphragm seems SO much easier, and seems to get good reports. Then select the density of new foam you want from an upholsterer.
