Todays Efforts - Part 2 of 2
Finished the first seat today, with help from new bolts, springs and eventual success getting sandblasting done. First time seat was blasted, the guys left it out in the rain, unprimed.
PB210032.JPG This was the original state when I first saw them. P8280145.jpg Sound condition though. P9110232.jpg P9110231.jpg The seat canvases look quite good, but I can't seem to get all the wrinkles out of the back, no matter how much adjusting I do. The stuff in the seat runner tracks is actually grease. Once I slide the seat along mechanism a few times, I will remove excess. P9110247.jpg With daylight fading, I started pulling the brake vacuum booster apart. I had read the manual fairly lightly & promptly forgot it, so when I got the two parts of the vac chamber apart, the giant spring that jumped out at me came as somewhat of a surprise. It also prompted several very bad words which would make a bikie blush!!!.  Great bloody way to end a weekend. Like being on the set of The Magic Roundabout.
