Microcell Contour Six Webbing layout
Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2024 2:06 pm
Has anyone got a pic or a diagram of how the base of a Contour Six should be strapped, and what if any coverings there should be.
I had the webbing replaced in mine earlier this year, but I'm not sure it's been done right. Seat is very soft, and the repairer used a scrim of calico over the webbing, glued to the frame which has now largely been dislodged. He's also used seat belt webbing type material for the straps, riveted with a large washer into the frames. I do recall that the original seat base cushion had hessian on it, this has now been replaced with something else along with the foam padding (the original had completely disintegrated).
When the seats came to me, they'd been lashed up with a couple of old trouser belts to supplement the remains of the Pirelli straps, and one of them had a thin sheet of something like millboard underneath the cushion, again, not sure if there's supposed to be a solid layer or if that's part of the bodge-ups that took place before I got them.
Cheers,
Gary
