Early BN4 Longbridge and late BN4 Abingdon have a different curvature
and dimension from the center of the curved back to the front. It is
either 5-1/2 inches or 6-1/2 inches. I would clarify which you need, for
sure before ordering. I have both and could loan you one to try out. One
has the upholstery stripped and the other still is in goof to fair
shape, red, NOT original. Before you think about building your own, I
would consider David Nock's offer of a new assembly. IT IS COMPLEX. I
could send pix, but it would be a pain to get it right.
