MG MGB Technical - Chasing MGB Seat Hinge Cover

Hi, I am not sure if this is request is relevant to this page of the website, but I was hoping that some one may be able to assist me in tracking down a small MGB part.

It is a black plastic cover for the reclining seat hinge on the later MGB's 1970's to 1980's (there are four of them - two left hand and two right hand to each.

I will try to include an image but maybe some one will know what I am referring to. They are not available as a reproduction item, so I am after a used set if possible.

Thanks,

This is the item I am after

Sacriledge! If you haven't found a use for something yet you haven't kept it long enough.

John from West Yorkshire, thank you for your interest, however, I need one exactly like the one shown in the image.

I was hoping that someone may have fitted different style seats and may have had some left over.

I am in the middle of a complete restoration on a car that I started eleven years back, and after losing interest for ten of those years, I have rekindled my desire to complete it.

It is funny, but I have two of lots of things - duplicated orders etc, but sadly, I am missing some very important pieces.

The image blow is where I was at, about three weeks back. Maurie
