CMP seat base size?

Hi All

I've always wondered how close this would be to fitting a CMP?

Wonder how we could go about get the dimensions?

Cheers Phil

Nice find Phil - you would think it would be a close fit.

But the price for one???

As I said...it will depend on how much you want to spend as to how accurate you make your cushions.

It would be very expensive to outfit a C15TA, and many other of the CMPs that have multiple cushions in them at those prices.

So what goes on top of the spring base, between the cover and the spring? I have a set of NOS seat covers, and a original back cushion, I would think there is a backing that goes on top of the spring base. Anyone have details?

Ours had what appears to be kapok contained by hessian over the springs.

They were also a full cover rather than the half one you have there so were reversible.

The sprung seat makes a big difference to the driver experience - much more comfortable than foam.

At the Barn we have old bottom seats that have approx. 1 inch of horse hair sewn between light cotton fabric in the form of a pad..... the back rest has a cotton filled quilted pad about 3/4 in. The pattern of the back rest springs are very visible through the canvas cover. Gives a whole different meaning to "spartan" .....
