    Does anyone know who might make folding bucket seats to fit a 34 ford tudor sedan? My seats are original, I hate the access to the rear since the entire seat pivots up to the dash plus they are heavy. I also dont care for how bouncy they are! All the seats I have found are too wide. They need to be about 18/19 inches. Thanks Ken

    1969 MG.
    18" wide.
    They fold and recline.

    There's a company in England redoing them. Very expensive but very nice. Leather if you want.

    I might have to send a check to England.

    for what it's worth.....for my '28 Model A Tudor I used a pair of Chev Lumina middle van seats. Put them on a track they fold down then up. Covered them with '35 Ford Sedan Mohair. Works for me! :)
     
  5. Im using seats from a british made Jowett Bradford van in the rebuild of my '34 made from 1948-53 had a generous folding mechanism and sliders from factory.
    The backs of the seats have a lot less curve compared to the original seat also which feel alot more ergonomic

    I put Prius seats in my '54. They fold forward and are very comfortable. They're not very wide but I can't take measurements cuz the car is getting painted right now. Just an option for ya.

    I have a buddy down under that is building a very traditional flathead A v8 , boxed chassis etc . He has stock model a Tudor bucket seats ,perfect. Not so from the beuraucratic boffins. “Oh there is too much V8 in that car , you need high back bucket seats” Be buggered. I said put race seats in as they are probably more saleable when you fit the more eye appealing correct seats.
