Can someone give me a little hint what type of harness and parachute pack I have to look for? Those MK1, 2 and 3 type harnesses are still a bit confuding to me.
If someone would have kind of a drawing or Type xxx harness name that would fit or even be similar that would be great.
I guess I have to build one scratch somehow but at least having an idea would be great.
Thank you in advance.

First of all, happy new year to all of you.

Terry and Bill, many thanks for the manual copies and informtation.
Corrosion wise the seat is in a pretty good condition in regards to his age. Build Date 8-7-57 seat S/N 419
the only corrion I found in a brief overview was the buttom area at the seat hight adjustment mechanis.
Bassically the area that can been seen on Terrys picture no. 3 of post #6.
Other than that just very light spots. It was stored in a dry barn for couple of years. It the oldest seat I have and ever worked on.
I’m pretty firm with the Mk4 to 10 seats but the Mk2 types are let’s say a bit different 🙂
I will take a few pictures this week of the lower handle and leg lines area.
It will be a long term project as I have a 10A and GT5 to be taken care off first.
If I can’t find any original parachute container over the time I thing I will also start making one myself. Have a old GQ Backpack type parachute which should be the same or similar material.

Thank you and best regards,

Tobias
