    Yes they are very comfy - I had a bit of a sit on his floor.

    He re-covered the backs but made new bases - I still have the original bases.

    I think he has forgotton the locating pins on the back of the bases .
    Don't think I"ll complain as I am getting this job at mates rates. I'm sure I can fabricate something to locate the bases. (Maybe some big slabs of velcro )

    cool, velco is a great invention. Velcro is used in commercial aircraft to stick those big plastic panels inside the cabin.

    Popped the seats in today. Wow what a difference. I am sure my bum-bones will appreciate. They look pretty nice too.



    Steve, who makes wheel chairs, crafted new bases with the curved bases used in wheelchairs. They are very comfy. Giving me the impetuous to get moving on Olute again. :-)

    They look great - you need to now do the backs to put some pleats in.

    great, your mate did a top job on them. What is that Pipe for?
    the one that is at the bottom of the seat back and runs along the back tub?

    I'm not sure it still qualifies as a Series 1 with those seats!

    The pipe is dual tank filler. Rather strange set-up - primary filler at head height behind driver - feeds into 2 tanks with a simple t-piece pipe. Seems to work ok - not sure how to only fill one tank - park on a slope I s'pose.

    Yes Olute does have a few modern conveniences. Poufy seats, synchro S3 gearbox and brakes.
