[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 129046, member: 3287"] Bill my handsome, I like the way you put in your "D" seat strut into the back of the footrest plate as it puts less strain on the front seat mounting lugs but also it is in keeping the aesthetics of the rear lifting handle and mine also keeping the old seat strut as it was useful in 95 NZ when my hydraulic damper failed I tightened up on the friction. Seat sponge is the original Dunlopillo, new sponges are definitely nowhere near the same comfort, I use a 10mm composition made from a floorboard of an inflatable boat hinged on the front end of an aluminium base made in HMD Devonport in 65, the little holes around the outside were to hold the covering on with a stainless band, my mother was worn out by the time we finished each side for two evenings. So the next seat cover and subsequent ones were stapled into a baseboard with monnel metal staples. bananaman. [ATTACH type="full"]38013[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
