I am just about to embark on the restoration / re-upholstering of a 4 seater PA. I am aware that the current front seat frames I have are not correct and know where I can find the correct examples. However, I am now aware that the back seat may also not be correct as it should be a ‘fitted fluted seat to a shaped pan with a fluted seat back which hinges forward to get at the space where the Side screen frames are stowed’. Currently I have a flat plywood base with an upholstered cushion. So my questions are;
1. Does anyone have a good photograph of the correct back (and front if possible) seats for a 4 seater PA? 2. Where can I obtain a design for / actual frame for the back seat? 3. How many ‘pleats’ do the front and rear seats have?
If any or some of these questions can be answered I would be very grateful.
