Seat rubber diaphragm

Post by Johnwindwood »

Guys

I'm looking for a drivers seat rubber diaphragm for our '85 MY car.
I think that makes it part no. C089V3520F
Anyone have any idea where I might buy one?

EDIT: If anyone has a seat out of a car, could you give me the measurements of the diapragm to see if I can find a generic replacement please?

Thanks.
Kind regards

John

John,

I bought one from Fulchers in Norwich a couple of months ago... It was a genuine Lotus part

Thanks Carl- I just did the same!

As an aside I have a possible avenue for remanufacture of these diaphragms, in a tougher material and much cheaper. Will feed back.....
Kind regards
