Seat upholstery made at home / and interior refit due to lockdown

I think even the serial number on them actually tells you where it was bought .

 

Just says October 1934 not really looked into it

Just checked our Singer 201K. about the same age as the bus.. but we bought it when it was only about 15 years old, for £59 in 1986. Really the same machine as Simon's but with a super taupe coloured metal shell on it to look more modern.

 

Made seat base fit took some few day work to lower and make the slide mech work ect but done now on to heated seat switches and wiring tomorrow and finally the assembly


Had to move it out the way a tad


Fit a treat

looking good Si.

i wired my seat heaters into the heated rear window switch - i don't have a heated rear window so the switch was redundant, nicer to keep it oem rather than have a modern switch .. also lights up when its on which is nice

 

Will loose the 6 settings then won't I bit I'll make a little bracket to fit under the dash
