Alloy seat backs @brianstewart ? are these the same shape as original, or have you made them Bespoke to fit you?

 

Passenger side is as original, but, since I have an EWP, the diver's side seat back lacks the cutout that accommodates the usual bulge in the firewall that gives room for the mechanical water pump.

Does that make it a bit more comfortable, as its now more symmetrical?

Also, what is used to make the wire webbing hangers/clips?

 

Yes - I'm a biggish bloke, so anything to make room and comfort is desirable. Hooks are spring steel.

did they fit different diameters of wire to offer different seat stiffnesses?

 

No. I don't think you could get much stiffer than what I've got.

They are standard upholstery pieces Ryan, the same place you buy the upholstery webbing will sell them.

yes, just found that out after I was sent a link to it last night. I just assumed it was some special proprietary and bespoke part for the GT40. Learn something new every day.

What width webbing is used for the 40.

 

My webbing is 36mm, from Pirelli as I recall. Very similar to that pictured below. Hooks are 38mm Pirelli "A" hooks.

Thanks Brian.

That looks like the stuff I was looking at last night. Still amazed that its something that i can just order. I was expecting it to be a bespoke part that would have to be made.
