Flattie's your man for this. He put in years of work doing his. :lol:
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

thanks for the tips. trawling through buzzer's build got me onto something else - zinc plating kits. i'll read up on that later as i have three restos on the go and it would be great to do my own. regarding my seat, the single seat is grp and also supplied is a grp seat base that bolts on. however, stapling onto grp is not recommended so looking at different ideas. just ordered some black vinyl and looking at maybe high density base with a memory foam topping
