Has there been an option for canvas 72 years ago? Or are my seats from another model, probably an older one? The frame fits perfectly, it has a recess at the position of the fuel filler neck. Anyone here in the forum with comments ore explanations? https://abload.de/img/dsc022090ps85.jpghttps://abload.de/img/dsc022031asdk.jpgThank You! Sven

There is typically a canvas or woven layer under the leather between the cotton and horse hair. What mine had was a much loser weave. I suspect yours has been recovered. The other clue is the OEM seat material was not secured with hog rings. It was secured with a sort of c shaped clip in a channel. Very difficult to remove. At least that was how my seat was constructed. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 16 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 16 | Thanks Gene, your photobucket is a good source to get things done originally!
