The cushions were made by a canvas parts company here in the UK. They cost £250 (about $500) and are new, new, new! It would have cost near that to buy and ship a set from the US anyway.

Ralph, they're definitely for looking at, not sitting on. After all, I don't want them getting crumpled do I? :D

Ralph: Have you purchased anything from ODCloth? The prices sure look right. I don't have the overseas shipping problem, just California almost as bad. :roll:

Hello Danny.

I recently bought a canvas seat set from Pizzoferrato Enterprizes and they are great. They use the same material used in the original seats, treated for fungus and other bugs, following the original specs, are really well done to the detail and fit perfectly. The foam used is rigid and gives great riding confort. I got mine delivered to Brazil for reasonable air-mail shipping costs and the whole set arrived here without any problems.

Take a look at my Mutt's seats at:

Congratulations on your restauration, it takes time and patience but it worhts even more because of that!

Cheers,
JP

That’s what I want to hear, consumer reports and all good, with rave reviews. When I buy my top I guess it’ll have to be from David.

Towed the MUTT 135 miles each way from London to the Kemble show in Gloucestershire behind my Ward LaFrance in pouring rain. Had a great show and met Barrie and his MUTT. Only just realised we never took a photo :roll:

Mike,

Good to have met you at Kemble.

Sorry that we didn't get a photo of our two Mutts together; on the Sunday the group I was with spent most of the morning pulling down our tents in the rain, pretty darn miserable!

Don't know if you noticed, but there was one other Mutt at the show, with the 'Rolling thunder' group.

Regards
Barrie

Is it Kevin Wheatcroft? They are currently restoring a German Panther tank. Here is the link

Hi DannyCop.

I once saw a documentary about his collection on cable tv. I'm not sure if his collection is open for public viewing and Leicestershire is far from where I live :(
