Hi All

I am posting on here again as RM924 needs some more parts. Any help with locating the following would be great.

1. Diesel Tank in good order
2. Seat cushions and backs for downstairs wheel arch seating (both sides needed)
3. RH hand stair rail for up the stairs to top deck
4. Stair nosing

If any one has got any of the above we can collect.

Many Thanks

Lara

You could post this in a Facebook RM liking page as well as here.
1) diesel tank you can buy new, be about £700 would need some bits of old one
2) You need a pattern to make the board from plywood, then foam to fit and moquette to cover, all available.
3) Try PVS barnsley, there were some, or contact Andy Hayward ex of Routemaster Buses or Rob Duker
4)Stair nosing can be made from stepped pyramid nosing, do a search on here, Rob Duker posted a source of lengths of it.

Hi Lara,
I'll check if I have any bench cushions spare but I think all I have is some of the forward facing cushions in eyes down Marquette and in used condition.

To be honest used cushions aren't worth bothering with, especially RT cushions. they used the old style Dunlopillo foam base which is highly flammable and produces a lot of toxic black smoke. It also goes very crunchy after about 30 years, but does give that nice vintage bus smell!

It's only worth keeping the wooden seat backs, springs and seat bases. Most of the trim shops will quite happily re-cover and fit new foams.

Hi Lara,
Sorry I have checked, I haven't got any spare RM bench seat cushions.

In regards to you reply Roy, I know what you mean about some old seats smelling and going hard when I've been on some other owners buses.

To clarify the seats I was offering although second hand are still serviceable and would get someone out of trouble till they could get them retrimmed, otherwise I wouldn't offer them to anyone, they would have just gone straight into the skip.

As these are from refurbished RM's I think i'm right in saying they shouldn't go as hard as the old ones but usually the foam breaks up and falls out the bottom of the cushion.

Regards,
Pete.
