Re: Speedster Seats
Dave fabricated his own simple tool to make the darts. Just tell him what you want, he can do it.

Re: Speedster Seats
erlkoenig-classic is Reutter or what's left of it. They are the ones that provide the alternative build sheets, complete with interior colors, etc.Edwin Ek wrote:On German eBay there is a seller, erlkoenig-classic, selling new Speedster shells with inner and outer darts.

This was their display at Retro Classic.

Re: Speedster Seats
Wednesday I advertised my seat dart installer. We sold it the following morning. Restoration design was the purchaser. With a little luck it will be in their shop early next week. If you need to have your seats darts installed they will be able to do that. They also have a gauge to correctly position the darts from the edge of the seat and and notes that I have taken from original seats. (Advertisement deleted by moderator)

Re: Speedster Seats
I just received the factory Reutter build sheet from Erlkonig for my '54 Coupe. Total information including the key #s. Lovely presentation with interior fabrics and colors. Mine is a Black body over Green seats, Green headliner and carpets. Here is the surprise, the dash and garnish rails are Maroon. ........Jim.

Re: Speedster Seats
Al, unrelated, but I love the new floor pans Torsten has made and you sell. Good to finally see a real authentic offering out there. Same for the battery box floor which we used.
