What was the material used on the original GT40 racing seats? It looks like some sort of simple, black parachute nylon or the like. Does anyone know the name of the material and a possible source?
Also, were any of the seat grommets in the original cars in a brass finish? Or were they all chromed? Anyone happen to know the grommet diameter/size?
We're in the process of making some replacement seats for a Superformance GT40 MkI that will use thinner closed-cell padding. This will hopefully allow for more headroom with a helmet, and provide some resistance to water intrusion under the seat.
Thanks guys!
