Top Support Iron Question regarding Seat Upholstery wrapping.

Post by BRENT in 10-uh-C » Tue Feb 03, 2026 2:11 pm

On the Top Support Irons that bolt to the Seat and support the Top Irons where the top pivots, how does the interior Upholstery wrap around this Support? Was it hand-stitched underneath, or ?? We are specifically working on a 1914 Touring, but any of the early open cars will likely be the same. Any pix??

TIA!!
