1980 Spitfire Seat Assistance

Post by bradski12 »

Anyone have a picture of the wood under a Spitfire seat? Mine is really rotten and in need of a picture to see what OEM looks like. Full plywood panel or strips? I've re-covered a couple TF LX seats but in need of some diagrams or pics for the Spit. Thanks!

I just recovered mine for my 79. Should be the same? Cut out new plywood too. I'll see if I can get some dimensions and pics for you.
Mine- '79 340 Spitfire
'82 488/Xtra 10 Sportfire

Dad's- '77 440 Liquifire

Ok here's a bunch of pictures. I'll try and get something drawn up on my PC that lays it out nice.

Where I messed up is I didn't do a "nub" on each front corner roughly ½ x ½, that's the picture I have of the front corner when on the sled.

I'm leaving bolt holes out of it, get the plywood cut out and laid down then mark the holes where you need them to be. Not where mine are, probably a bit different.
