I'm about to use various seat parts to repair my Elite ones. So I don't paint myself into a corner, what are the dimensions of the manual crank handle as in Rob's PICTURE (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90678.0)?
I'd like to know the size of the square, and length of the handle. With those I can make an adapter to use with a socket and extension, before I start the job, just in case in case I need it.
Thanks

Do you mean as in starting handle, Nick? What a lovely retro idea! IF that is what you mean, didn't the starting dog on the crankshaft pulley have a short "scroll" on it to effectively eject the handle when the engine fired?

Yes, I'm going to use the gas axe to melt a precision hole in the bumper, chisel a hole through the radiator and araldite the leaks, all so I can start the car just in case I leave the lights on overnight :y
I was actually hoping to be able to move the seat base easily on its runners with the power disconnected.

From memory Nick, the square end is app. 4mm, length of handle to first bend is app 150mm. HTH

Were these handles standard issue because my elite doesn't have one?

Should be in the tool kit :-\
Bit less sherry Ron ;D

It only had the joke wheelbrace in it. And I have better uses for the space, so the foam is long gone.

That's a good place to start. Sounds like a little job for the morning.

Mine never had either .... never needed it though in the ten years I had the car, so I wouldn't worry about it ;)
