recliner seat base clips
Hi people,
Does anyone know if the wire clips are available for attaching the rubber diaphragm to the seat frame base on a factory recliner?
They are shorter than the standard clips as the diaphragm is the same but the seat is narrower than a standard non-recliner.

Re: recliner seat base clips
It's neither 30 or 31.
I'm just after the bent bits of wire that hold the rubber diaphragm to the frame.
They don't list them there, but they seem to come with the diaphragm itself (number 23)

Hi james,
A spring-maker would be able to make them if you had a pattern.

Yes that was my plan "B", should be very easy to make.
Newton said all hooks were the same, I do worry about them sometimes...

Re: recliner seat base clips
The plan was always to make some, but I was just curious to see if they were available.
And I need about 60

They are spring steel so not so easy to reproduce at home.. That is why I suggested a spring maker.
