#1 Extension board up-stand clip area finishing

Post by paulsco » Mon Apr 01, 2019 2:07 pm

I was talking to Richard Smith at Jaguar Spares Day and when I asked him, he told me that where the extension board behind the seats on the FHC folds down and the pins go through the up-stand, that the vinyl is simply sliced in a cross pattern to allow the pins to go through to the clips in the up-stand.

I was rather amazed at that, as Jaguar seems to have gone over the top on the interior with chrome fittings. I do not disbelieve Richard; he knows his stuff, but is this what others have done?
Does anyone have a more elegant solution for this area?
Thanks,

Trust him, he is correct. You would think that a chrome escutcheon would be used as a receiver/guide but I've never seen one.

Hi Angus,

Yes I do trust him; I'm sure he has forgotten more than I know; it just seems so... well unfinished.

I was going to do it as it is original, but I was wondering if anyone has done a modification of any sort; some sort of plug surround perhaps.

Maybe it is best left alone unless it starts fraying.

Thank you for your input,

Much appreciated

No worries just cut it carefully and tuck it under with some glue.
