PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Replica handles for original Abarth 500 seat for replacement or repair, produced with 3D printing technique.
Sold in pairs dx+sx or individually in the specific selection.
For any stock 500 Abarth seat, both in leather and in fabric (any year, no sabelt or punto). Except for a single special model in fabric, generally tourism my19-21, which does not have the frame and exposed ropes (so check before purchasing)
Available in two variants similar carbon and similar leather with ribbon red or black or yellow.
Available on request also just the strap or in the specific announcement (the strap has now been reinforced with new stitching points and glue).
INSTALLATION:
A procedure that can be carried out by anyone but requires a bit of manual skill and patience.
After removing the original handle (videos of the procedure are available on YouTube), you need to strap the new handle. The strap should be tied at the bottom to the ball of the metal rope with the provided strap (see photo in the gallery).
Subsequently, the pulling ropes in the backrest should be strapped to make them tension with less travel (see photo); otherwise, too long an excursion would cause the strap to come out of its seat and an excessive force requirement to unlock the mechanism (in addition to the blockage before tension by the internal plastic stop).
The strip of velcro that is provided should be placed around the metal part (sheet of the frame) to prevent it from rubbing on the ribbon and cutting the seam (see the last photo with the yellow indicator mark); alternatively, it is possible to leave the excursion longer by loosening the ropes, so that the strap touches the metal part as little as possible.
The cover, which serves only as a support and closure, is screwed on like the original (it is important to screw with the screw straight and without tightening too much or there is a risk of breaking the plastic).
Before tightening and closing everything, test the operation and sliding by checking that you have placed the straps in the right spots so that the strap does not rub against the frame and cut the seam. It is important to check the tension and rubbing; if not installed correctly, there is a risk of tearing the strap or cutting with the metal part. In case it happens, it is still possible to sew the ribbon back together even "infinite" times.
