This is what my 130A DD has for a passenger seat frame.
Drivers seat is the same except adjustable.
The base appears to be what I've seen in photos on line and on Ebay for a Model A Tudor Sedan (same as a Deluxe Delivery).
When I took the old upholstery off, which was the "Spanish Leather" found on Commercial vehicles, I found cloth seats which lead me to believe that these are not the original seats.
The seatback frames have "off-sets" just above the hinge which make the frame about a 1+" wider. I have not noticed an off-set on the photos of seatback frames I've looked at. The hinge brackets mounted to the wood seat-base and appear to be cast iron.
The typical tailored upholstery kits don't seem to fit as they should on the seatback, apparently because of the wider frame dimension (17.5"). The OA height of the seatback is about 21" which may or may not be a problem.
The good news is I found an Indian Head Penny (1899) when I took the old stuff off, so I'm still "ahead".
My question is, what do I consider for a different kit? Custom covers?
Otherwise the frames are fine.
Thanks Ford Barn...........Pete
