Chunky is unlikely to have made a bespoke frame for the type 14, especially given the losses he made on the car, but you never know - the S1 Elan did have bespoke seat frames and someone is re manufacturing them but they are quite different.

I have two contacts who both undertook restorations of Elites, one is extremely knowlegable and greatly interested in historical facts and details - if you ping me a message I will put you in touch with him
