The club only stock the later type seat Ernie, the demand for the very early type is so small that it wasn't and isn't economical to have them reproduced.

I have got an early type seat pan I've no use for from a 59. It would need some minor repair to the front mounting ( previous owner bent it to try and fit it to a later model . Its now straight but mounting has been cut down where the bolt holes were needs minor welding ) but is otherwise very sound . PM me if interested and will send some pics . Cheers . Paul.
