Default Model A tudor front seats

I have collected tractors and hit and miss engines for thirty five years and my friend finally talked me into buying a model A. I wish I had done this years ago. I already love miss Della and I have only driven her one mile. I am putting in new upholstery and I need the dimensions of the front seat bases. It also appears that the rear of the base is going to need about a three inch leg to sit up straight. I haven't been able to find any good pictures or explanation of how this is done. Any help would be appreciated.

The rear of the seat uses a short cup to position it. These can be bought from most of the major suppliers. The cup is about 1 1/2" to 2" tall.

I think one of the wood suppliers has them already made.

I guess I would rather build them myself, so I still need the dimensions if possible.
