WC-21 seats

Post by pierino » Mon Aug 30, 2021 7:41 am

g'day!

what's the best suggestion for well made WC-21 seats? (cushions and back + side arm covers)

I'd love to also have springs on them... but I can also consider "foam" cushions at this time...


ciao
maurizio

Maurizio, I have been restoring mine with modern seat foam . I have them made with a plywood backing. They are more comfortable and old springs always seem to end up "uneven" because they're usually worn out. I'm restoring a WC-6 command car now and I'm having them done in leather with modern foam and marine grade plywood backing.

thank you, but I prefer to have them as close as possible to original seats (for my GTB, I had them reproduced using original blueprints coming from Ford Motors Co.).
