With nothing else (like work) getting in the way, I spent the afternoon tinkering with the car.
The rear seat squab on my chummy has no apparent fixing to stop it sliding around. It looks like an original base, timber with a series of holes in it. There's also some wax/ chalk markings ( presumably from the factory).
Underneath the nasty modern cover, there's a very beaten up moquette cover, with green leather piping and sides. Interestingly, where a bit of the fabric has been protected from the light, it is an unbelievably bright jazzy pattern. I gather that this is the sort of thing that was in 30s saloons?
What is the original fixing for the rear seat squab? I need to make something to hold it secure, and want to make it fairly authentic.
