airplane seats?

I dunno if this is an aircraft seat. The seat cushion is wrong, shoud be round in the back

 

It was in a Model A I bought

 

It was a Shrine circus clown car

 

Check Rootlieb.
Besides hoods,they make a kit for an old model T Speedster.
I`m running both thier seats and gas tank in my `30 RPU.
The seats are about $60. apiece.Hotrod Walt made a set of cushions for me.They have a plywood base.I cut the sides
down to make getting in and out easier.

Wanted bomber seats,but couldn`t find a matched pair for
for less then a small fortune.
Their seats and tank made life easier in building the RPU!

JR...

 

Im thinking maybe tractor seats with backs welded to them. Seen one in a vintage race car and thought it looked cool.

 

Here is my seats up in the attic, may sell them or use them someday if I get another project... they are out of a 50's military transport.

 

this thread die or what?

 

Zach, if you are not totally committed to the bomber seats I have been checking into the dimensions of some plain and simple seats for a roadster. Not sure what the height is yet but the price is reasonable. JC Whitney has them but Summit Racing has them $10 cheaper at $118 each. Seems like a good price. They are made for older Jeeps by TrailMax. See http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=search.asp&type=bykeyword&searchtype=both&part=TrailMax+seats&x=19&y=10 Hopefully they are not too tall for a 28 RPU.

 

thanks for the info on the jc whitney seats but thats more then i need to spend on seats really...i'll probably juyst end up making plywood with foam and some material over it for now and then make my own bomber seats once i get around to buying a bead roller

thanks
