#1 S3 front seats - special washer

Post by Drewpy » Sat Oct 24, 2020 8:04 am

As part of a full resto of a UK spec '71 RHD 2+2 auto, I am re-creating a pair of front seats from scratch.
Most of the work is now done, but on assembly there is a special washer (BD.37945), no longer available, that sits behind the seat back adjuster lever that I have been unable to track down.

The part number is BD.37945
The Jaguar fasteners guide list a BD prefix part as a special, so I'm unable to check its spec there.

This is where it fits:

    • Can anyone help with the supply of a car set of these, or if you have access to one, confirm the material type, dimensions and finish, so I can get some made?
    Any help or advice gratefully received!

    My car is the same as yours but manual. My front seats are presently fully disassembled and in bags fully restored just awaiting putting back together. I don't know off hand about the washer in question but I will rummage through the bits and measure it if I can identify it, if that helps.
