Seat backrest bands

[berger]

The 38 year old rubber bands that provide "support" for each seat are a pain in the arse to re-clip once the metal clips pop off! Instead of buying new rubber, I used the handyman's second most favorite tool (duct tape didn't work! )...zip ties.
They work quite well...




I also used the left over glue supplied with my split boots to reattach a torn strap. It is rock solid, even under tension.

Rubber bungy cords work as well. Remove the hook, insert clip and attach

When the original rubber ones on my Mog died I cut an inner tube into 1.5 inch bands and reused the metal clips. A bit tighter than the OEM bands but very serviceable and very inexpensive.
Might even be able to bet an old tube at a tire store for free. Don't use them now as I have non stock seats in the pinz but, I used them for the pinz seats as well.

never gave mine a chance to break. Replaced those nasty seats within a week of owning my pinzies.

I used inner tube, doubled up (i.e. looped around one bar and tyed at the other side) - was tricky feeding it through the seats (mine are woven cloth) and tying a knot in it was difficult too but it's pretty rugged
