seats
I took a few snaps of the original seat bases I have.
I think the lower base maybe is from a CMP. It has springs inside it and a lace up covering. There would be a lot of work , fabricating one of these bases from scratch.
The back covering squab, not sure what it's from.

BTW I have noticed that the stitching on these old original items is rather sloppy and loose. The thread tension is very bad and uneven.. stitch length is uneven , probably typical of wartime production with inexperienced operators and large volume output. The stitching on the GMH sidecurtain I have , is beyond description , it's that bad . A little 5 year old kid would do a better job on a toy sewing machine.
