In trying to pull the seat to work on the carpet, and the seat handle on the drivers side broke (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
It was one of the shoddy plastic handles that "never break", unlike the metal ones made by 914rubber that never break (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) will definitely be swapping that out. Anyone have any tips on how to get the darn thing out? It's super stuck, and we tried lubricating the channel, a screwdriver and everything in between. I'm a big guy, 250+ and even with every method we tried and me sitting in the seat sliding as hard as I could to get it loose, had no luck. |

Sealing the plug is my next project, but in the meantime I was able to install new seat handles.
The old handles very pretty janky. One was a metal handle but was not very sturdy and held on by two small screws, while the other was plastic one that broke entirely. Pulling the old handles off was pretty easy   I got two new matching handles thanks to 914 Rubber. They are made from powered coated steel and have a much sturdier means of attachment. These suckers will never break on me. They are super easy to install, you just need an allen wrench a 1/4" drill bit. Just drill the current slots larger and the new handles are plug and play. Old vs. New Steel Powder Coated  What is Left of the broken plastic handle next to the new handle  The New Handles Installed  Happy Seats  Thanks again to 914 Rubber for all the help. More pictures and project definitely to come! |
