That is a high probability of accuracy... thank-you very much.
Not a common vehicle in Canada.

Hi Guys,

Here is a picture of said DAC Mk1 drivers seat. The later Mk2 seat had a simple web backrest attached to the roof with straps and a couple of hooks.

As you can see the seat Michael shows is reversed to the DAC seat. The handle for height adjustment is on the front with the DAC seat. Not sure if you could slide the seat from the frame and turn it around. Michael will surely let us know.

Now to find it again.
Thanks Marc.

Thank you Marc,
You are quite right, I'm glad I put 99% not 100 ! When I got my Ram it had the remains of its seat in it and Chris Wilkinson gave me several damaged ones exactly as the one in the photo. Apart from the lugs on the rails and the bumper to stop the seat going too far back they were identical to the Ram seat. Early Sextons were built on almost unmodified Ram lower hulls. I wonder if these were for them and the modifications were to make the seat fit the more restricted Sexton driver's space caused by the gun mount?

Chris was usually very good at knowing the application of parts (as it was his business) so I never doubted when he told me they were Daimler AC. I did find that the little screw jack was used on 1940s British truck seats, but they always had a higher backed seat though a similar scissors mechanism.
