Evening All. :smiley:
Need some help and advice and part numbers. :wink:
Changed my seats for some cow hide. :cool:
Only trouble is the plugs are different for the air bags. :rolleyes: was kinda hopinng they'd be the same. :lipsrsealed:
So the situation now is no air bags. :tongue:
I've cut the plugs off my old seats and cut the plugs off the leather seats.
This is my plug.

Whats the best way to connect these back up? Solder? :undecided:
The wire coming out the plug is short. :rolleyes: can i get new wires?
Any help would top notch. :afro:
Thanks people. :kiss:

Yeah, was bound to happen mate. :lipsrsealed:
It looks like i've got to get the wires out. Or maybe i buy two new plugs and hope they have some longer wires? :undecided:

This looks like the idea. :smug:

+1 :cool:

you could have just used a small screwdriver and picked the wires out of the connectors...
Anyways good work mate, nice to see it all works now. Leather is on my list but only as a very last thing. Would have to make a heated seat loom up as well

Picking the wires out would of been hard work, we tried getting the wires out using a small watch makers screwdriver but the ends of the wire have what looks like litte barbs on the end. :rolleyes:
In the end we put the plugs in a bench vice and tapped them out with a hammer and driver :shocked: the first attempt left the barbs still in the blocks. :lipsrsealed:
Heres some pics, spent most of the weekend cleaning them. :cool:

I used some Leather Preserve Gentle Leather Cleaner Ph Neutral. By Gliptone. :cool: i also nicked some other stuff off my Mum....lol which said strong leather cleaner on the bottle, which was a small bottle. :laugh:
I used a sponge and a nail brush then wiped it off with a white cloth.
Then used Liquid Leather Conditioner by Gliptone on a soft clean white cloth. :smiley: Which dose really make it smell like leather again. :cool:
Both the Gliptone have been in my cupboard for ages :huh: good stuff. :afro:
