[QUOTE="Serge Hilfiger, post: 128998, member: 4816"] I recently started with the restoration of my HRD serie "C" Rapide I purchased some 35 years ago. Now I am working on the seat and I have some doubts about what is original and what is not. Especially meant are the angle irons discoverd between the plywood and the seat squab but maybe there are other non factory original features? Could you please help me in that sense? Attached are some pictures of what the removal of the cover has unveiled. I am going to replace the plywood base, the cover (fortunately my saddler still has some left cover material close to the original one) and most probably the squab. Are there different squab qualities available on the market or is the VOC the only source? [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
Verification
The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
