Another Headrest Option
I started to have a go at making an oval shape that would fill the shape of the hump better.
Unfortunately, as soon as I started to use a ruler as a guide I knew this plan was doomed.
As the hump itself isn't horizontal to the ground, it is at an upward angle, so there isn't an obvious middle.
So although I could match the curve at the top edge, there was no way of getting a nice shape at the bottom.
However, as I started looking at D Types, Listers & DB1s for inspiration I had another idea…
Match the top curve, but have a straight line at the bottom that doesn't line up with the body shell lip.
Something like this, but excuse the poor photo.
I hope the section of uncovered hump below the headrest will draw the eye to the leather.
( Avoiding the differences in size of the body shell lip either side of the hump. )
At some point, I will stick the paper template on the hump itself to see what it looks like.
Cheers, Paul.
