Default M8 restoration

I did a strip down of the turret seating assembly. They are not in too bad a shape considering. Both seat towers will need a new piece of box channel cut for the back and new rollers on the seats. There is enough left of the mount at the bottom for a template to make two new ones up.

I’ve ordered some new springs from Brent Mullins and I’ll make up some retainers for the bottom to hold the springs in. The turret seating frame will need straightening along with a bit of new pipe.
