Actually John, I´ve replaced all the plastic and seats this winter with some custom painted pieces( deep metalic red/black). I´m looking to sell this spring, which comes vary late up here in the Twin Cites. I´m 54 and not feeling all that racy today. I hope that replacement works for you. It is tough to get to the philips head screw that holds the wire connection but it´s not bad after that. I use a philips screwdriver shaped like the letter "Z". I cut it right in half and used that (it ends up looking like a L). Again, good luck.
