Hi

A Leighton's seat will be accurate for year - if you want it to appear period you can distress it - can you say the same about your local provider?

I can if they have the original design and photo samples of originals yes. They specialize in antique cars and bikes for the (rather large) restoration industry here (Denver Colorado area). I'll get in touch with Leighton and see what the cost is going to be, if it's anywhere near affordable (including shipping from central USA I'll ship it. Really I probably should have just taken it with me last time I was in country =)
Fix it until it's broken!

Otherwise how will
anything get done?
