Early model saddle wanted

As most of you know, I am very much in love with my early WDM20 and it bothers me a little that it has a late war saddle. Is any of you in possession of an early saddle that you might want to sell? Just a bare frame would do. I have an original late war frame to swap if that helps.

Thanks,
Henk.

Re: Early model saddle wanted

I've had a good look at my pile of saddles and there are only the later type there (I could have sworn that there was an early one)I'm off to a jumble on Sunday, I'll keep my eyes peeled for one there if no on else has one

That's to bad but thanks for looking. If you could find one during that autojumble it would be great. A complete original saddle would be great but just the saddle frame from would also do, preferably with the springs in it.

Hi Henk, is it a Terrys S707 you are looking for?

And did we ever discover what it actually looks like?

Neal Gentner from Australia started an identification research in April 2010. Hi Neal, are you still there? Did you find anything yet?

Cheers,

Re: Early model saddle wanted

In the parts book I see that both Terry and Lycett would do for the 1940 models. I have a later model saddle with the double metal strap which I would love to replace for a Terry or Lycett saddle.

I have a saddle cover here with on both corners a protector for the passenger, it's in pretty bad condition but still nice for reference. If anybody wants to see some pictures just let me know.
