The correct material that was standard for most of the industry in the old days is 50CMC Medium Twill - Transit Weave Cane Webbing. This material was unavailable for some years but is available at this time and may continue to be if we order some soon. There is a single loom still in existence in China that can produce it. It is available in 50 Ft. rolls: widths up to 24 in., $1.85/sq.ft., widths 26-40 in. $2.04/sq.ft. We recommend the following widths: 18in. $1.85/sq.ft. $138.75/roll 24in. $1.85/sq.ft. $185.00/roll 26in. $2.04/sq.ft. $222.31/roll 28in. $2.04/sq.ft. $238.00/roll Minimum order 20 rolls (can be mixed). Delivery time 90 days or more. The Seashsore Trolley Museum is about to make an order and we would be very pleased to cooperate with other museums to make a large enough order to meet the minimum and to obtain this favorable price. We will gladly send to your e-mail address additional information including further details about the webbing, how to measure for it, how to make and apply the proper backing, how to prepare the material for application, how to install, and how to obtain springs and other seat components. If you might be interested in joining us on our pending order, we would need an expression of interest by Jan. 17. Seashore Trolley Museum. e-mail dgcurry@gwi.net RJReich@aol.com |
