take your seats
Hi, Since checked out the carrier FUC-03 parts catalogue illustations 49 and 50 shows ron's seat cushion, interestingly it shows a spring type pad, co1uc 105812 and a pad, co1uc 105813. i think i might have both these items fitted with desert use seat covers?????, see thread 'seats for Mcdells'.
these seat covers are in the washing machine as we speak !, 90 degrees wash to remove years of grime, hope they dont shrink. I have a feeling nothing is hard and fast, with different manufactures and year changes i guess variations are expected. if anyone can contribute anything here to 'bottom this one out' much appreciated. Also got a rear wooden seat back original for a sutton harness if anyone needs dimensions. Also were can you get those lift the dot fastners, We need the ones for the wooden boards which attach via the threaded set screws, i have looked at most suppliers which do not supply this type of 'dot', see 'seats for Mcdells' thread, Jordans posted a picture up.

You mention the seat frame with the Lift the Dot fastners on the front edge. I think these were on 1943 and up Carriers. My seat frame is dated 42 and it doesn't have them. As for the cusions having the tabs. Again I think there was probably a change in 1943 to incorporate the tabs. The parts manual doesn't show them at all. Also I think the CMP seat cusions had the same tabs. Perhaps they just started using CMP seat cusions. As for the colour. Ive posted up a picture of what the original should look like. its quite a bright green. As for the Lift the Dot fastners with the srews on the backside. I don't think they make them anymore. All that I have found are the externaly threaded studs.

I Have two NOS seat back covers, dated 1941. They are like you say, in a bright emerald green with a shiney surface.

This is the correct kind for the seat backs. As far as I know they do not make these anymore. It would be nice as they would be the most secure to use.
