2015 Model S P85 - My front passenger seat twisting when going forward and backward is due to the failure of one of the seat's flexible drive shafts. Easy job if only I could get the £30 part. Tesla solution is a £900+ replacement seat base.
The flexible shaft I need is approx. 150mm long and squared at each end to approx 3mm * 3mm. (see attached picture)
Does anyone know of a supplier (ideally UK based) for this component?
Have you had this problem and how did you solve it?
What were the length of the shafts you replaced (the arrangement has two shafts each of different lengths)?
Internet searches have been difficult with multiple unwanted finds for SEAT cars, child car seats and seat upholstery repairs.
Amazon is a possibility (need to accurately confirm length of flexible shaft) but currently shows deliveries into mid March 2023.
AliExpress is another possibility but again with long lead times and fewer length options.
Thanks for any help you are able to provide.
