Adame, any chance of a pic of your seat cushions, i have made my seat backs and one cushion copied from the one i borrowed, same as the one pictured by Ron.

I understand that there are seven layers of padding material in rons seat cushions this to me looks like 'hemp'. Brownish natural fibre i think this is what they also used in the gun butt brackets, boys rifle rest, fuel tanks etc. You can still buy this stuff used as eco freindly insulation. Makes me think that the felt i have seen on restored carriers is too white, get yourself some 'hemp' fibre board, looks spot on.
