Hey Guys

Adame, any chance of a pic of your seat cushions, i have made my seat backs and one cushion copied from the one i borrowed, same as the one pictured by Ron.

I understand that there are seven layers of padding material in rons seat cushions this to me looks like 'hemp'. Brownish natural fibre i think this is what they also used in the gun butt brackets, boys rifle rest, fuel tanks etc. You can still buy this stuff used as eco freindly insulation. Makes me think that the felt i have seen on restored carriers is too white, get yourself some 'hemp' fibre board, looks spot on.

HI Kevin

I'll send you some pics. Mine have a black type of horse hair material. I dont think it horse hair though it just looks it.

Should have them by tomorrow.

Cheers

Couple of questions.

#1 How thick is the cushion for the seat backs for the driver/gunner.
#2 How thick is the back cusion in the rear of the MK1 carrier. This is the one that measures approx 12"L x 6"W

I’ve had a friend make some seat backs from some canvas which I’ve painted with a flexible boat hull paint to replicate the finish of the wartime seats, has any one got a source for the lift the dot with the correct type of male fastner that screws through the wood, pictured earlier in this thread.

Cheers
