Thread: S.1. 1956 LWB

Digger, I made new seat bases for our S1 88" (same for 86/107/109)and I'm sure I made a drawing of the frame. I'll have a look and see if I can find it. We then had them recovered for $100 each by a local trimmer. He did use the old dunlopillo cushions.

note that the z braces are attached to tropical roof (welds?) and that the roof is then pop riveted to the cab roof support channels...(what are they called them big square things, im called them about 4 different names so far!!)

when I got the above cab I also collected the "bench seat back" that came with it! (he was gonna throw it!)

it is a single piece back that fits into holes in seat brackets in vehicle already and then is secured with small slide bolts on cab rear wall...

ive never seen or heard of one before... has anyone else?
it appears well made...a long time ago! (is that dunlopillo?)

a couple of photos....
