Heres a couple of images of my "new" restalls as restored by our own "Contour51"

They are absolutely SUPERB, and a lot of money less expensive than other inferior offerings currently available!

very nice!

did you have to supply a worn out seat frame, or is it all new?

Superb job got to say.

Mark,
Not much time to participate to the forum recently, sorry,
but I just noticed your lovely Restall, nice really !
Is it some Leverol runners I can see ?
If so, were the made for your seats ?
This question because I have 3/4 of a complete set for my Contour 6 :
one of the U shape runners is missing, so I might be interested in one ...
Cheers Etienne

Mine were a restored pair, but Gareth can supply a brand new seat if thats what you want.

I believe he can supply the runners as required.

Many thanks for the "plug " Mark,I was pleased to do them for you.
Someone had gone to a lot trouble with them in the past, particulary the webbing(a work of art).

Will be in contact soon regarding your 'Microcells'.'
kind regards
Gareth

Hi Etienne,
regarding 'Leverol' runners.
Do you mean the runner that bolts to seat or the rail on the subrame,you are looking for?
If its the seat runner part, those are "no problem" ,I have spares.
If its the rail,those are very hard to find ,as you may know on 'Microcell' seats they are an "off set" 'C' channel (see pic courtesy of Austin Costin).where as main stream (MGA/B/Midget etc etc)'Leverol' runners are "over-under" 'Z' rail.(see pic).

Repro 'Leverol' runner sets (as fitted above)are now available again from my local supplier.
Hope this helps Regards
Gareth

I was under the impression the runners were used on Sprites and Midgets -or are they different?

For anyone in any doubt, the white & black monstrosity with the fixed head rest is one of my Restalls before Gareth worked his magic on it! Hard to believe its the same chair isn't it!

The Microcell in the Arden was supplied by Gareth and is spot on

It was also half the price of one that needed total restoration that was offered to me

buy a member of this forum

shame on you

The restall looks fantastic.
