I think I have a couple which I can part with. Let me check the garage and let you know.

Are you looking for sport seats or comfort seat application?

Tom, after you get yours I'd be interested in buying a second one from someone. I need a driver side for a sport seat application.

They're the same for sport and standard seat in the 72-73. And completely different from 69-71.

Thanks Tom, you are correct. I just tried one and it works fine. I had no idea!

I looked, don't have

I may have an orphan driver side. Can someone remind me which side is which so I don't have to drive out to my shop and start looking at cars?

And are you guys looking for the smooth plastic, 72-style receiver? Or the textured plastic, 73-style?

Here is the passenger side. I would take smooth or textured finish, prefer textured to match this one.

I'm still looking. I also need three of the four mounting bolts (the really short ones) and the spring washers. I removed all this stuff before I dropped off the seats for repair, but I have misplaced it. So, I'm feeling foolish as well as needy.

Tom, don't feel bad; I suspect your feeling of foolishness comes from being a British Leyland mechanic, not from losing parts. Although both are related.

I have some NOS receptacles but not likely to let them go unless you've got a very shiny object to trade. However I will look for a used driver's side when time allows. I'm feeling a bit emotional and generous toward the early pioneers on this site.

Thanks, Frank.

The story of British Leyland is a sad one. I worked in a dealership at around the time the government took over the company, which made things even worse, no surprise.

Tom,
Found one for you. I’ll make sure I’m not breaking up siblings and get back. Please PM your email.
