Avon SR4 - Jockey Seat - BACK REST ?
Hi

New hear, just started a refurb thread. Been stripping an SR4. Refurbing all the bits and bobs to get it back on water.

The jockey seat is two man but no back rest, I've seen some photos of them but cannot find a supplier.

Does anyone know a stainless steel supplier who has the design criteria? I could get the foam cushion made up but wanted the tubing if possible?

I've fitted a few of these. I'll try and find a photo.

I fitted the same as per Sam’s post above. Works really well. Purchased the backrest cushion from Humber RIBs (for some reason their online shop isn’t working at the moment).
