Default Cabriolet Seat

Is a 1930 Cabriolet seat base the same width and depth as a coupe?

For the adjustable seat : according to page 150 of the deAngelis Frances Henry book : yes

For the fixed seat version, I modified seat riser from a sport coupe. I do remember that I researched that quite extensively and found that the only difference was to adapt to the difference in profile of the metal vs wood body subframe, so yes I believe that the base frame of the seat cushin is the same.

Thanks, it is a later 30 adjustable seat, or it was. Parts are missing and I was just checking to see if I bought a good used adjustable seat base would it fit.
Thanks again,
Rich
