Interior and Seats

Seats trial fitted

I had to partially strip the seats and narrow the seat frame. I used a fire blanket to protect the foam and vinyl whilst I re-welded the frame. The seat bases are not fixed in this photo but they may need to be modified so that the minimum distance to the upper seat belt mount can be maintained.

Moto-Lita Steering Wheel

Horn button

Made from a moto-lita billet aluminium horn push with a recess turned on the lathe to accept a Porsche 356 hub cap emblem! Stuck on with polyurethane adhesive/sealant.

Trial fitting

the hazard warning switch was a little more tricky! I used the original stem with bulb and turned down the red lense to fit the apeture in my new pull. The stem was glued into the aluminium housing.

Trial fitting

Roll hoops trial fitted

when the brackets and escutcheons have been fitted the roll hoops will be removed and sent away for chrome plating.
