Default Colouring your nuts !

Hey tony,

seats look good, maybe wrinkles will go with wear as the material gives.

Regarding colouring your nuts I'd say the thread head is green so that if a nut was not put on you notice instantly the absence of red prior to inflating tyre or if you lost one of that makes sense ?

Thats a posh Chook House .... i bet you have the manual for it too

Default Seat bases

Hi Tony

If you keep searching you may be able to find a pair of original seat cushions to repair and use. They are sprung and until you try them you don't realise what an integral part of the truck's suspension they form.

Here's a pic of a very good original so you can see how thick it is. They are also reversible which is why they have two sets of tags.



You can see the difference:
