If you could give me several day's notice, I could arrange for a Coachbuilder to have made an aluminium seat board and a standard wooden seat board, both covered with felt, etc., and we could try both in the same car. Whilst we are doing this, we could discuss the noise insulation scheme, with a view to reducing the weight. J.L.E. | ||
