Unhappy 40 conv rear seat & back dimensions?

I need help with dimensions for the rear seat and back rest frame and springs. They were missing from my convertible. Thanks

Snyder's has them if you need them. The bottom cushion is 44 inches wide and 23 inches deep. The back rest is 44 inches wide and 18 inches top to bottom (at the sides). The back rest has a crown to it in the middle. I looked all over and wasn't able to find any when I needed them.They are now covered and look great.

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure what you mean by Snyders. I know Labaron Bonney has them but are quite pricey.

Snyder's Antique Auto is the supplier for LeBaron Bonney. Yes they are expensive, but to do it right, it's worth the money.LeBaron Bonney has the rear backrest springs for 472.00 and the rear cushion spring for 219.00. Snyder's has them for a little bit more. My LeBaron Bonney catalog is a year old so they might be closer in price.

I will look tomorrow. Too dark tonight. I either have the fronts, or the rear. Don't remember. But I am trying.

Sorry, KSFORTYFORDS, I found the conv. seat, it is a front.

You have the dimensions. I replaced my front seat with some medium or high density foam, about 6" thick. Also did a friends conv. seat. Cut it with a hot wire. Shaped it with a 36 grit disk grinder and then covered it.
Been there for over 12 years with no problems.
