I have tested to wet vacuum the original fabrik on the seat.
It is nice that it is "like new" now holes.
I hope you understand my english it is hard with some words!

It would be a shame to mess with such an original survivor. Have you considered doing some period speed improvements to it? Like dual carbs, stroker (69.5mmk) crank?? It would be far cooler and more unique than the typical slam it and drop a big engine it mode.
