Re: New member from Holland with a backrest problem

Neat Job! Cannot locate Richard's post on original seats. But reading and watching the videos on this subject, only drives in the point even more that starting to build up the seat from scratch should best be left to a pro. I have the complete Connolly leather kit from the US and now need the frames...
