GT550 - New & much thinner seat

I am in the luck position of having a friend who does the leather upholstery work for Morgan cars who has offered to re-trim the new seat base for me.  An offer like that cannot be refused so today has been focussed around getting the base unit made up for drop-off before I disappear to Barcelona.

Several hours later, with glue all over my un-gloved hands the finished panel is done.  4 layers of dense foam bonded together to a 4mm dibond composite sheet gives a very light but strong replacement.



The criteria was it had to be thin (off course), comfortable enough for a 100 mile trip, fit the curve of the frame and leave room for two.

More importantly it will cover the entire rear frame to remove the need to chop it and re-weld it and also have enough room to cater for Jetset's perfectly formed ass.
