Default Rear Seats

It appears that there are two different seat styles used in combination for the Humber tub, as can be seen in the drawing a couple of posts back. I have used owners privilege to fit
four matching seats bases, instead of two.
The seat covers are NOS, so the seat size is accurate, as is the shape (rectangle with tapered rear corners and no backrest. As the rotted original I saw years ago had a wood frame and what appeared to be the old style Dunlopillow cushion, with a rusted bracket at one end, I came up with the following.
According to the parts book each of the rear seats was held in place by two wingbolts, and as there are two captive nuts in just the right position, I have made a bracket to suit. The front seats are held in place with a bracket utilising the existing staple type fittings.
Information regarding the seating in the back of the Humber for the Australian Army is non-existent, so this will have to do in the meantime.
