[Darrin Wright]

With all the materials at hand I made the front seats.

I have used a high density 1" foam with 12mm ply as the back rest section.

Foam and board was cut to the dimensions in the parts book.

The off-set of the back board & armoured cover was calculated from a pic that Euan sent me and the installation of all the items.

Used coach head bolts as per the parts book.

I also had to drill a hole/recess in the ply for the radiator upper support stay/rod that protrudes through the hull bulkhead.

Assembled it all into position loose and when happy removed it from the hull and tightened it. Just have to bronze up the UNC wing nuts I have (they are old style with the mickey mouse ears) and re-thread them with a UNF thread to suit the upper studs.

The bottom seat cushions have been made, dimensions as per the parts book, with medium density foam that is 2" thick.

The vinyl is named "olive" from an Australian manufacturer called Warwick. Blends in with the khaki green paint. I did overestimate the amount of vinyl that I required and now have approx. 3m left over. In time this will re-cover the seats when worn out or damaged.
