For Sale: Looking for expressions of interest for manufacture of new seat bases

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Sounds like a great project Keith.

I have moved your posting from this thread to give it a bit of a bump.

Spring seats are expensive.....Mac Auto has them for early Ford pickups

Remember this is in USA dollars shipping not included....

Seat bottom at $479 and back rest at $469..... obviously made offshore and retailed by them and a few others....

I have seen original CMP seats rebuilt with square tubes of stiff foam inserted in each coil spring to give the old saggins feeling a boost....

New car seats are a combination of stiff serpentine flat springs supporting a molded foam overlay...... would making a simple bottom section be easier and cheaper with modern techniques as long as they are comfortable and look authentic with the canvass cover.

Mac's has them from 62 to a whopping 910 bucks... none of which fit the CMP seat AFAIK (though the *typical* pictures do not help a great deal to ID them).

But let's not threadjack Keith's project AUS$185 for a bespoke CMP spring seat sounds like a good price to me!
