Hi All
With winter having arrived in the form of wet and cold weather I’ve been inside (right inside and in the sitting room) sorting out the upholstery.
I’ve gone for a very simple solution that will not only be waterproof but also easy to remove. The material is 23g / sq m. canvas. Quite heavy but my 1953 Singer had no difficulties. I’ve used foam wrapped in wadding for both cushion and squab. Time will tell but it seems reasonably comfy but can be replaced / added to Later. Both cushion and squab are just press studded in place.
Hi Duncan if you’re reading this I’ve now reduced the length of the front stays and the guards sit just an 1” or so off the tyres. Thanks for the input!
Next step is wiring.
Cheers
Howard
