I'm struggling to find detailed information on the 917 seating system. All I know is that the 'bucket' was of a fixed size and each driver would have his own insert to sit on, covered in a red material ( fabric ? suede ? )
Does anyone have a link to a description and\or pictures of how this was all constructed ?
The reason I want to know is I'm thinking of building a reproduction 917 style seat ( not an exact replica ) as part of my next project - which I have decided won't actually be a car.....
I want to trial some of the new skills I need to develop in order to build a real car by first making a cockpit for a PC driving sim. Perhaps I'll build a few, as I think there might be a limited market for such a thing.
If anyone can help out with information I'll be very grateful.
