I have searched to no avail. I need drawing/dimensions for the M38a1 rear seat frame. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a 1951 M38 seat. Would it be the same one that was in yours?
It has been recovered, but I can snap some pics and measurements for you if that would help

The M38 and M38A1 use the same rear seat.

Mike, that would be great. I used to make custom off road mini bikes and scooters, so I'll give the seat frame a try. I have a set of cushions coming from Beechwood. :D

That is a very heavily modified seat.

I too would like some more detailed measurements, such as where to make the bents etc. It doesn't look that difficult to make. With just a few measurements and straight ahead photos it can be scaled and copied. Thanks to anyone willing to help. Robert.
