Dual seat frame dimensions

Postby 507VBH » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:08 am

Hi,

I have got a new cover for the dual seat on my series 2 but it seems too short. Unfortunately I cannot sure whether the frame I have is a standard Lambretta one as yhere are no markings on it.

Does anybody know the length of a normal seat frame along the top edge?

Cheers

Thanks for the info! Mine is 23.3 inches from the top of the front hoop to the top of the rear hoop. Is this the measurement you took?

Add an extra half an inch to mine based on your measurement. Mine Giulari frame is on an original series 3 TV
It maybe an aftermarket seat on yours.
Can you post a picture? I have also left you a personal message.

Hi,

Here are some pictures of the frame and the seat before I stripped off the cover. There are no identifying marks on the frame or old cover. It could well be a 1960's after-market seat - I have no history on it!

I think that is an aftermarket seat frame, the back of the frame is nothing like a the Giulari seat.
Keep the blue cover and see if you can get one made to fit.

I thought it might be a non-standard seat - thanks for your help!
