Hi there thanks for having me . I do not have a Vincent unfortunately but my partner and I have various other British, American bikes . My father is a serious British bike collector and restorer . I am an upholsterer and am in the process of making a new Vincent seat for him . I am using the original foam pad and badge but have made a new wooden base . I was going to use the old cover as a pattern for the new upholstery but after looking at a few pic on your wed site I’m not covinced it’s in the original style . I’m wondering if any of you good people could point me in the right direction . Many thanks

I bought and fitted this "C" seat cover last year, But there have been a few different ones around.
Good Luck, Bill.
They say the foam should overhang the wooden seat 1/4" or a little more all the way round.
