My '62 came with what's called a "hump" seat.
It has a "hump" about a 3rd of the way along the back to separate the driver and passengers.
It has the same brackets.
Here's some pics....
I'll take a few more detailed pics if I can tonight although with wind chill it's currently -6 C outside so you'll have to forgive me if I don't get there.
But this is the item I'd say you're after.
are they for sale
are they oh by the way i still have the visor clip for you(plastic bit) but can give you the whole visor original.

Sorry mate, but the seat is not for sale.......but then you already knew that.
(
Mmmm, overtures of the oracle from The Matrix .... )
I'd love the visor if you don't mind parting with it.
How much?
Cheers & God Bless

So a big thanks to everyone again, especially to damo who generously donated a speedo and gear shifter.
Unfortunately I found that the 59 shifter is different to my 61
But apart from that I managed to get a bit more done
