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

Default Cushion

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

www.scovill.com

You can order milspec black finish.
The posts are available as threaded base or screw, be careful of the post/screw length.
Original Canadian manufactured universal carrier seat backboard examples are observed with threaded posts.

Kevin, you can buy the LTD body with two lengths of legs (don't know the proper names) If your material is thick you will need the long legged ones.
The black ones look good, but the originals were nickel.
