SwissChap-
Thanks for the comments,they are appreciated.Not sure yet about the saddle but probably look for an old beat up leather job that requires a bit of work, (never done any leather work before) the problem will be how to mount it on the thin (approx 2mm X 40mm) strip of steel that was and still is originally fitted to the bike,might look at bending some round steel bar with a flat steel bracket either end to bolt to the frame using existing hole,the saddle should be easier to mount to that using a more conventional saddle clamp,will keep you posted when I've worked it out

Finished making the pedals today,a bit cold to work in the shed so I took the junior penny farthing in the kitchen to fit the pedals,just four more spokes to make now then have a look at making a period looking seat/saddle
