[QUOTE="overdale, post: 135385, member: 4984"] I have finally got around to rebuilding my 1951 Black Shadow which has been in bits since 1971, so I will be needing some of the members expertise! Both my best friends in the late 60s had Rapides, I bought the Shadow in rough condition, meaning to rebuild, but the normal story of girlfriend to wife, house buying, working away etc put it on the back burner, or should I say shelf in the garage! At the moment I'm rebuilding the seat and I see there is a post from 1918 showing the seat base with stiffeners and a tubular stiffener on the foam side of the seat base. My seat had neither of these, were they a later mod and should I be adding these? If I have to make them is there a drawing or dimensions for them? Hope someone can help [/QUOTE]
