A great day of progress.  Today after much effort three of us were able to sit comfortably inside 107 for the first time.  All the original seats were taken out in 1901.  We started off with Jim and I putting more latts on A side seat back. This took us up to lunchtime.  161 screws in total.   Ian started filling holes and punching in nails on the exterior in preparation for painting.  After lunch Jim and I trimmed the seat back to length, then tried to fit it.  Paul arrived and helped but there were a few fit problems.  the seat frames were then trimmed very slightly in various places and we evetually got the seat to slot into place.

Here is the finished article.  The ends still need properly trimming and the protective endplates that screw onto the screens have to be fitted but we all thought it looked rather good and on testing was surprisingly comfortable.   All in all a very satisfying days progress that kept us inside out of the rain. It was good of the Secretary of the Tramway Museum Society (Crich) to test the seat for us.
