Re: Rattler's 2a civvy restoration project
Decided to referb my old Def seats for the 2a and stumbled across a referb kit on ebay ordered it and gave it a try today whilst the 2a's new paint was hardening off in the rain outside and the outcome was great so i've ordered another one for the other side

Fitted the seats and cubby box plinth using an up side down centre tray, obviously once the tray is painted ( limestone ) i can fit the cubby box to it.
