I replaced the rear suspension bearings today.  I made this spring compressor out of  40mm, 30mm and 25mm box section and a length of 16mm screwed bar and an old tapered bearing. It worked a treat even with my shitety welding. If anyone  wants a loan of it or dimensions to make their own let us know.

Do C15 seats fit in a Visa perchance? Asking for a friend*.

Ingenious! Mine will want doing and some point so might well take you up on the offer.

I don't know for certain but I'd imagine they would. @Mrs6C will probably know for sure.

Only thing is I think all C15 seats or the majority - were vinyl or vinyl fabric mix. The vinyl was not particularly long lived and chances of getting any good seats or ones that don't fall apart after a bit are an issue.

However the C15 seats at least do not use the dissolving foam infill or degrading velor which seem to plague the Visas.

I'm not sure but it may be possible to order new seats covers in France.

A much more ambitious approach would be to try to get other Citroen seats to fit - DS come to mind.

I’d be entirely happy with all vinyl tbh, not a fan of velour after experiencing said material on loads of small Triumphs. I was always the weirdo who swapped them out for vinyl seats at the earliest.

Mine has BX seats fitted on their original rails but it did necessitate drilling a new hole in the cross member for the front mounting point.

@purplebargeken got one seat out of a C15 here in ok condition if you want it. There is a pic of it further back in this post.

Cheers Doug, that looks sound, the only issue is that we are quite a way from each other.
