I did get some info about the radios in the Vickers and I think it was a No7 set. I was told that they were made in very limited numbers and basically impossible to find. In fact just to find information about the radio itself is also very limited. I guess I won't be having two of those in my tanks.

It is probably a bit premature but I thought I'd do the drivers seat for a bit of change of pace.

Bending the channels took a little while as they need to be quite exacting.

They are a seriously heavy seat.

Luckily I only need to make one as the other I have is the original. I sacrificed one of my G clamps to use the trapezoidal thread as a copy of the original.

I have a couple of pics of the finished seat but for some reason they won't download.

The drivers seats are complete apart from the leatherwork and ready for installation, but not just yet.
