The remaining parts will gathered as I go and i'll see what comes up!... Basically its should be pretty and :2gunsfiring_v1: proof
Here we go again! :)... (lambo not mine :( )

If you cant find a primo gorilla a good alternative would be an fsa pig headset. I bought one for my hearing aid beige barcode frame when i bought it early in the 2000's.. its still on it too
-
cheers fella - i was looking at those too actually as a back up... i actually have one somewhere :)
-
There's a gorilla bottom cup on ebay at the moment.
Have a look for Ed209's Subrosa DTT he had it shot blasted and clear coated. It looks grey.
Should look really cool when done. I think odyssey did a seat with a diamond stitched pattern.
-
Cheers for the heads up Gary - will look in to those! :)
-
I believe these to be the ody seats you refer to?

I'm sure they did a grey version with yellow/gold stitching.
I have one of the black Aitken seats like in your pic.

Just did a google search I and it looks like they did a grey with red stitching version and a black denim with yellow stitching. But will probably hard to track one down.
