Anyway, I’m looking for an answer to the simple upholstery question I posed at the start of this post. ...
1) are the 13 leather strips of equal size on an original 851 speedster
2) what is approximate location of the large horizontal leather strip that goes on the top and bottom seat bases. Is it matching the location in the photo I supplied.
The drawing you refer to from Stan, I’m told via a pm from another club member, do not specify if the thirteen strips of leather are even. In fact, the drawings show the outer edge pieces are in fact larger than the 11 remaining pieces.
I would have thought someone in the club judges original 35/36 speedster cars and can quickly give me the answer. If that person(s) is not on the forum, I just need their name and phone number.
Many thanks

I don’t know who Stan is I’m afraid. I’m also hoping that the questions I have posed are pretty simple for a knowledgeable person on these models to answer.
