Seat base dimensions

[stephen crowhurst]

Just to put the cat amongst the pigeons, my seats have no signs of ever having metal welded in them but had a plywood base, and at the back of the frame are two metal brackets that help the ply stay in place. (I have made the ones in mine). Both seats have on the front edge two lift the dot fixings and the cushions have corresponding straps along the flat edge to fix in place.
More confusion

Thats interesting!

Well that intrigued me and as I was working from memory, I just went and took a look. Mine does indeed also have a wooden insert and the two lift the dot fasteners. However my cushions have no corresponding LtD straps?

So now begs the question, which way round should the cushions be? I originally put mine with the curved edge to the rear, but after seeing numerous pictures and line drawings showing the curve as the front....I changed them round.

Ron??

PS. I've just scanned this from a parts book. Same cushions as mine...No straps.

Here is another members cushion with the same straps on so not just mine.

Here's my drivers seat. Ron

[stephen crowhurst]

Yes Ron, like mine with two lift the dot fixings at the front and none at the back even though my cushion has three fixing straps on it.

Hello
I will maybe say something stupid, but would it be possible they use the same size of cushion than the CMP truck, they have three straps.
cheers

It's a minor thing, but another conundrum that I'd like an answer to.....Just for interest sake.......Michael R??

PS. Typing together there Sylvain......Good point and something I didn't know about.
