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?

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
