    32 Chief seat "T"

    I am hoping to find out the proper seat "T" for a 1932 Chief I have the Mess, 3 seat but I'm not sure what the "T" is i'm looking for, (I know its not the Same as My 41 or 45, I'm Pretty sure it is a 1 piece "T".
    Any info or pictures Would be great even better would be one for sale that is correct & reasonably priced
    thanks in advance for any help

    1932 Seat T

    1932 had a 2 piece Seat-T.
    Most of the 1932 Chiefs (and "Standard" Scouts) I have seen in original had a (black) Mesinger Nr.3.
    Attached a picture of a typical 1932 saddle.....

    appart from the too old speedo this bike (also a Scout, but this was actually the same chassis as the Chief) is amazingly original and also shows the same type of saddle:




    Cheers,

        I own a 32 chief. It is a one piece T. It is diffrent than the other T's that I have seen. Remember that the post was an option in 32 and the springs were standard. If you want I could take a photo for you. I might even have one already I will take a look. Let me know if you still need a photo or if I can be of any help.
