I did use some clear silicone grease with PTFE in it for the fulcrum.
The rolls pins to keep the seat arms from coming off, although from the amount of pressure it took to spread the arms I would find that unlikely.
The decorative trim snaps on next.
The seat tracks can go on next.
The seat tracks were greased with the same clear silicone with PTFE so it doesn't stain anything should it touch the seat cover or paint work.
The lower plastic trim goes on next.
The other side trim.
The last bits are the seat back peg rest pads to go on.
Now the seat back can rest on the seat bottom.
This is the seat adjustment knob and these seem to be a snap together forever variety as you pretty much have to mangle it to get it off. I see Scott Drake remakes these, but I rather have a shiny metallic piece with a set screw. I shall have to see what I can find for this.
Aside from the knob this front seat bucket is done.
I've never seen a small bucket seat with so much trim and other pieces. This one bucket seat took many solid man hours of labour to refurbish. One more to go.
More to come.
Cheers
