Can you buy a single piece flexolator as per original spec for 71 GT? (The back or the seat and base of the seat is one piece rather than 2).

Does anyone have original spec width? I am guessing they were 13"? I can find 12" and 14" flexolators but not 13".
Also can you buy the correct Length colour coded springs to fit these?

I know minispares etc sell things "that will do the job".. but I am looking to get it right!

I'm also interested, but part side question, can you put rubber diaphragms in this style seat instead?

If I'm carrying on like a pork-chop, I'm having a great time.

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.

Yes you can fit rubber diaphragms... frames are same shape.. but the holes drilled in the frames for the springs or clips are in slightly different locations.. but new holes could be drilled/old ones welded..
but yeah I want to go original...
