Hi all and apologies for the delay in coming back to the forum. Thanks TMoore for your reply and, no, I have not sourced the hinges as yet. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have a further question for the forum. Can anyone assist with templates for the front bucket seats in the Scimitar. I do not think the seats are unique to the Scimitar and I have a vague recollection of a photo of front seats somewhere on the forum several years ago when I bought my boat from Ole Red. I am restoring the interior and the front buckets are not original. ( Red was good enough to provide an interior after we did the deal minus the seats ). Incidentally, has anyone seen Red or heard from him? thanks and cheers. Mark
