NZ Rubber seats, which type to use?
Moved this from the other saddle topic:
Hi All,
Just back from the spring Veterama, and looked at a lot of saddles, but which is the correct one for a 1944 350-1 NZ ?? there's the covers with the DKW logo, with the round Pagusa logo, and the (prewar?) script Pagusa logo, so which is correct ??
I need to know for my Rt125-1, as I would assume they used the same saddles on both bikes.

Hi Lex,
The correct Pagusa rubber for NZ350-1 is the one with script Pagusa logo.

Thanks Peter,
Now over to the next question, is anybody making the "script" Pagusa covers??
And, as I think nobody is making them, what is the best alternative?
All the original round logo covers:
I saw mould dates between '51 and '65.
The DKW Logo covers:
I do not know the date at all, is it prewar or postwar?
Only saw one script logo pagusa cover, but it was unusable, and do not have a picture, does anyone else has one??
Hope we can make this subject clear for once and for all! I have looked at many NZ pictures, and there are a variety os covers used.

Hi all,
Thanks to Peter I got my saddle covers, He had on his display, a note with the saddle, that it was used up to 1944 on DKW's and BMW's, surely this must be 1945, see picture:
Tried to get an email address or telephone number for Mr. Bozecki, but he said he didn't have any cards, and would not write it down!? (little language barrier)
So only possibility is to go to the markets he goes to, and buy it there!!
Did not find much else on the polish market, some Lucas lamps for British bikes) but it was nice to be there anyway, and talk to Peter and Maciek, who are on this forum too.
Cheers,
Lex Schmidt
