[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 13809, member: 38"] [b]Timing Cover and Seats!![/b] I am still searching for the elusive timing cover, but also have another question Does anyone know if the rubber Bungee type cords with the crimped on ends used on the pre war saddles are available, or must one revert to the modern steel spring??? Anyone have a pattern of how they went together?? It appears that there are 7 bungee pieces that double up. Starting from the rear, they flat hook into the seat frame, go forward and loop around a C type clip and then go back to another flat hook at the rear. 14 wide (1/4"??) slots in the rear frame and 7 holes in the front. There appears to be 3 or 4 different lengths of bungee and at least 3 different lengths of C clip. I have 6 1/2 very tired bungees and 3 different sized C hooks. I do have a modern repro seat complete but, if possible would rather restore the original. Robert [/QUOTE]
