After all the much appreciated help on the idiot lights I can crack on once the various bits turn up which Im guessing will take a while it being the festive time of year and all.

So I thought I would open up the bag I put the seat in to protect it and see what needs doing on the seat. It looks in fairly good nick as far as I can tell, there is a very small tear/split in it which I think can be arrested by using a small smear of wader repair glue & I have a set of new buckles to replace the corroded ones on the strap.

That leaves the solid but no longer attractive 'chrome' seat trim. Its gone white and blotchy in places and I would like to replace it but it looks like it is an integral part of what holds the seat cover in place. I have seen a number of adverts for trim material but thought I would ask on the forum first what folks have found works and what to avoid.

Heres a couple of photos; suggestions very much appreciated:

What you have is part of the cover and cant be replaced on its own, the strip you can buy fits over the steel lip of the base

Thanks Bryan, do you mean that strip you can buy goes over the top of the one that is part of the cover and hides it or do you mean that the one you can buy won’t work as this seat has the strip as an integral part already? Cheers, Mike

Bryanj:
I mean it wont work as the intergral strip makes the edge too thick
