seat bush time

[elevensies]

as the weather is holding off, im going to replace the seat bushings in passenger seat, Aceman has supplied the videos to watch, but im asking is it a pain in the ass job, or is it straightforward because i dont want to have the car laid up while im arsing about trying to work out what goes where.

ps....im more of a lump hammer type guy than a precision tool

It’s easy to do..bit messy..and don’t underestimate the weight of Z3 seats. If you have a helper all the better

My top tip is to measure and mark the position off the bush holder on both runners before dissembling

Very simple with the potential to be an absolute nightmare if you don't heed the warning above - good luck

Ive done a few sets watch the video couple of times .
Take your time doing it ( don't turn ignition on with seat out or air bag light will come on) and you'll get on fine.

As said seats heavy ( lower runner long and angular will take out chunks if you hit off something ) be careful less room as you have a hardtop on much easier with no roof.

I know the bushes are cheep, but you can easily make the bushes, I cut them out of an old chopping board, use sandpaper to make them the correct size

for the sake of 10 quid, id rather buy them than spend 2 hours cutting drilling and filing, and then have to spend 10 quid on a new chopping board, and worst of all, the hours wasted listening to my mrs moan about how i chopped up her kitchen utensil
