@Alfie
found an old brroks on a rusty roadster, and am restoring it. It had three chrome coil springs, which I took off, because they wert fair old heavy. I have a fair bit of experience in leatherwork, and just about managed to re-mould and restore the leather (cracked and horribly out of shape - 30yrs in a barn without being used), but some clever bugger stripped the threads on the tensioning nut, meaning it is quiate floppy, and the leather sits on the rails when pressure is applied by one's rectum.
any ideas?
