Strange MOT failure !!

My old 911 recently failed its MOT for the following reason.

'The leather strap and press stud that secures the small passenger side rear seat rest had come adrift ' which could apparently cause a problem for my legless dwarf rear passenger if I had to brake hard

I told them that the Italians call them 'Mother in law seats' and they are supposed to be insecure !!

Any other weird failures ?

You are joking!

Really?

I'd have the debate with them on that one.

SEATS

• The driver's and the front passenger's seats must be secure
• All seat backs must be securable in the upright position.

True I had to have my local sewing lady make a pair up. Press studs and leather straps, not sure she believe me they were for a car.

Wow, my local garage passed mine with broken straps. Guess it might be worth getting em fixed for next time.

Gaffer tape. Or a bungee strap onto the luggage belt tab on the parcel shelf. Doesn't have to be pretty - I tape a modern-type plate to my car for its MOT.g

Well there has been an offer from Lucy to make me some but I doubt I will see them before the next CLM

next time you're over the breakfast meet maybe bring some along and I'll take a look.

they are / were there just never bothered with them my MOT man and me are too busy drinking coffee and talking about cars to notice little things like that

suppose they'll come into question if they flop over when the brakes are tested

Wonder what the reaction would be if you took the backs out for the MOT?

For Gary71 - are you still doing seat retainers for a 72 911? I need some in black.

Thanks
Tim
