Not been on RSOC forum today, Anyway. Have you put a wanted thread up on there?

Hi Colin

Many thanks for tip off, just had a look, they aint for frst :0(

But really appreciate the help mate

[colin l rsi]

Hi again. I just checked again . I have a FRST.H 1990. They are the same as I have in mine.
121561275087. on ebay. Maybe you looked at the wrong ones. Or later FRST had different type seat belt adjusters .

[Afc88]

Hi Colin
99% certain these ain't right ones fella, but not unusual for me to be wrong!
Pretty sure mine are grey, not black,car is in a garage at the mo, but may nip there to double check!!

Nice to speak with a fellow frst owner!!

[colin l rsi]

Hi again . You are right about the colour. could of been different colours for different models. The shape of the knob thingy is the same though.
Good luck with your search. I have been there myself in the past. Looking for 25 year old parts can be frustrating.
Cheers. Colin.

The b post pillar plastic is grey the metal adjuster behind is normally black.

[Afc88]

Hi guys

The pillar trim is indeed grey, it is not the metal back bit I need, but the actual plastic lever thing you physically touch to adjust the height

I am going to the garage to start work on the car car tomorrow, so will take a closer look, and pics!


This is proving to be the holy grail, I really do not need any other parts, as my local ford garage and in particular tha spares man has been first class, quite a few odd ball parts he has managed to get for me, just for spares, cheaper than e bay

Colin did you get my pm?

[Afc88]

colin

Ignore ref pm, I sent that to another user, me and technology!

[colin l rsi]

Hello again.
If the plastic knob is broken like mine was. I think you will find it very hard to find an intact undamaged plastic knob. The sellers usually sell the whole slider part. It would be easier to replace the whole slider with the plastic fittings.
Two screws holding the pillar trim. Two star bolts holding the seat belt hanger. Job done.

[Afc88]

Apologies!!!

After spending the day with the car, polishing inside arches etc, I can confirm the adjusters on e bay are indeed the correct ones!!

I did say I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong!!! ;0)

Thanks guys
