White M3A1 Scout Car troop seat placement

[Big D]

Hi all,

I recently picked up some NOS troop seats for my White Scout Car, and I am looking to get them fitted on the vehicle. This scout car is in the Australian AOP (Armoured Observation Post) layout and it has a shelf at the rear, so there is only room for 4 seats to go in.

I am going to fit the two seats that go in the middle of the floor, in front of the centre foot-well, as well as the two seats behind the driver seat and passenger seat.

Can anyone provide some photos of the layout of these seats please? My floor is all repro so I have nothing to work off for the seat placement. I've scoured the net and also looked at David Doyle's book but close-up photos of the seat placement are hard to find.

For the seats nearest the front of the vehicle, can anyone give me the measurement from the front edge of the seat to the edge of the side foot-well please? Are the piano hinges for these fitted flat? That is, one side of the hinge bolted flat to the front of the seat, and the other side bolted flat to the floor?

For the seats in the middle of the vehicle, can anyone give me the measurement from the front of the seat to the edge of the centre foot-well please? What is the spacing between the seats?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
