Guys- I ordered 3 of these when I got back to USA.
I will order more on the next order next week!
Don-Doesn't this have a black insert? I have my passenger seat one missing some of that black around the screw hole. If that's correct, I would like to buy one also. Thanks, Drew

A bit of a mess....
Early cars/seats have a handle at base of seat.
Later cars have either a rounded shiny cover or a more rectangular shiney with black center.
Reviewing Gazz's pic, we now know he has an original all shiny, a housemade all shiny unit and the
rectangular with black insert item that has been sent by yours truly. Such fun.....

Don--I have the black insert pic #2 on my '73 seats. Thanks for the clarification. I'll buy one when you get your next supply from W&N. Thanks! BTW, Max. Importing Co. now has access to these. They are "only" $32 each + shipping!!!

Does anyone have have a rounded cover like Photo 1? I’ve never seen one of those before.

See post #8 which shows my home made guide. Don's post first pic shows something very similar. Very easy to make and I have progress pics if interested. Or am I missing a joke here?

Seeing Don's made me think that I should have radiused mine to the same as the hinge cover. Well I'm not taking those seats apart again so they stay as is.

The hard truth is that these cars were designed by people who are no longer alive. Bmw was famous for throwing together cars at the model year beginning with parts out of hardware stores.

Don--I just placed an order with W&N for other stuff for my restoration project. I bought one of these seat inserts to replace my old one.---Drew

All good - I’m traveling right now.
So many empty flights and seats, empty airports.
9 flights in two weeks. Nobody sits close because so few people are onboard.

Today is Spokane, Seattle, Sun Valley.
TSA is literally concierge service. They have two agents for each traveler ....
