The original black seat covers have seen better days.I think a nice Tan colour will pop with the Beige paintwork. Any thing has to be better than original grimy black ones.
Well lets give it a go. when cutting the the lengths l would measure the gap and take away 10mm - 12mm this would give a bit of tension after the seat cover was in place.
After cutting the drain unblocker in to suitable lengths and with the help of a good pair of pliers, I fashioned a hook at each end.
Start adding the home made springs one by one. in the end i needed two complete stets of drain unblock er.
This works a treat even if I say so myself.

Nice job. I am rebuilding (very slowly) a 1956 LDB (www.my-ld150.blogspot.com) and would like to replace the seat springs. This looks like a good solution. I had considered having lengths of spring made to my spec until I saw the price. I even considered buying a dual seat replacement set and discarding the bits I didn't want.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say how may drain clearing springs you needed, just out of interest.
