if you want a plastic that can be turned up on a lathe you need to look for a product called pactene , it's like a soft perspex, it's the white plastic that parts are made from. its a polyurethane product i think. comes in different colors for different strengths i think
commonly used here for packers to life the bodys up on 4wds
i didn't say they worked , just asking to see if its withe the trouble . i spend a lot of time in the passenger seat and its bloody drafty . with my new additions i was thinking i could donate the seats and benefit from them
my rover is an SE model (Seated Edition) comes with seats , the other that i picked up is an HSE model (Hot Seated Edition) i dont know what else those letters stand for :)
PS now that it can simply be done i will see if they work and can they be fixed, at the present the seats in the FJ are racing style , climb in and out PITA stuff, so just leather seats on there own would be a blessing . lets just hope i can get them to work.
thank you sloth .
just to clarify when i say other car i am referring to a FJ 40 land cruiser. its an open top vehicle and has no heaters at all
my rover had an argument with the lawn mower 2 weeks ago and lost!!
2 days after mowing the lawn i jumped in to the rover and had this funny looking design on the back window, they are hard to see out when they are shattered !! considering that i was heading to the shack this is not what you want to see in the rear view mirror. so we take the wife's car , no 4wd !
now i have to fix it , there is a big dent in it thanks to my daughter (another story on it own ) but now the glass is shattered i need to replace it . finding a upper tail gate in Tasmania is an almost impossible task , ended up buying an entire car to get tail gate, he wouldn't separate ,also found half a car dismantled (no body)for 100 dollars so bought that to . now i have spare everything almost . no spare tail gate used that bit.
so i now have 5 classics and 2 and a half p 38s
can you retro fit the heated rover seats into another car, or do you need the BECM to control them . if this can be done what parts are needed for the transfer?
if all else fails a could pop the lens off and send just the lens if thats a possibility.
i have just purchased a complete rover for parts (gems) and also picked up halve a car in parts also gems . will post in Australia if necessary, or out if you want to pay postage.

i have 3 but the postage would not be nice?
check your oil levels and grease your universals. how cold is cold now?
some colors are just not nice.
sorry found it , looking in wrong spot . small writing on the bottom of plate :)
quick question, where do you find the paint color for the rover??
he may be waiting a long time, but it is nice rig .
and thats exactly what the video was for .Rob sort of asked for it . its hard to find a good video with me in it when i operate the camera usually . sorry it was boring, best i could do will look for a better video. do they have to have a rover in them?
PS it was only 4 minutes of a 30km plus track , it dose get better or worse depending on how you look at it .
i have 4 classics from 82/ 87 models, no motors or gear boxes but most other bits.
update . all classics have been sold .
and i still have that piece rolling around in my toolbox, used it many times.
i ride a 1993 FJ1200 Yamaha, had it 20yrs . last time i rode a push bike it buckled in front of the kids when i jumped it in the front yard , yes landed on my arse , band from riding the kids bikes, so no more tredlies . have had many dirt bikes over the years.have dodgey back so i dont ride the dirt (sand) anymore.
if you dont have a hex socket but you have the keys just grind a line about 20mm from the end off the key put it in a vise and hit with hammer , it wil brake , then put it in the right socket and tape it , you now have a hex socket.
