Hello all from Australia,
I am a classic car tragic who owns a few classics, including (on the British side) a 1962 Triumph TR4 and a 1965 Gilbern GT1800. They can be seen at www.grouseguitars.com.au/cars.htm
This posting is in search of information regarding the 'Restall' seats fitted to Gilberns (and other cars) at the time. Specifically, the rubber spring diaphragm fitted to them as the primary springing.
The driver's seat diaphragm has finally failed on my Gilbern (the car can be seen at www.grouseguitars.com.au/gilbern), which I like to think is due to age rather than my weight (!), so I am looking for a suitable source.
Early indications are that the early Mini diaphragms are the same. Any comments?
Cheers!
