Where to get fabric?
I have one NOS Wireless Operator's seat back cover and have seen other originals and they all look a shade or two lighter than what you have used, but, honestly, That is still pretty close!
Where did you get the fabric from? Can you post the contact infor? URL? phone number for the shop you got it from? Thanks!!

Hi, Very interesting stuff on carrier seat pads, when I made mine i Realised the horse hair went in the end with the five 'lift the dot' fastners, then I got thinking does the five go at the top or does the four 'lift the dots' go at the top?.
I have seen an original black and white carrier picture of a canadian carrier with four at the top, and original british mortar carrier with 5 at the top  kev.

rear seat backrest cushion cover
The last seating cover for the Canadian MKI* Universal Carrier series. Ten lift-the-dot fasteners, three grommets at the cushion pad opening. This example is dated F.M.CO. 41, with part number TL 13173. There is a wood mounting base fitted on a metal mounting plate. The metal plate is fixed to the upper rear armour plate just to the inside of the signal pistol case if so stowed.
This seat back can be found in both the C01UC MKI* and the C21 UCM NO-2. Last edited by Michael R.; 21-02-13 at 16:05.

Carrier seats
In post # 4 arn't those FAT seats the ones that flip forward so the rear seat passengers can get out, I'm looking at a 1/35 FAT.
The MK I front carrier seatback are fairly easy to reproduce. Does any one have pictures of the mounts for the rear seat pads, dimensions would really help. One pic of my drivers seat and a pdf which I obtained from one of the guys in Ont. Bobbie J
