Have searched and searched for front seat tilt assembly to finish my interior. Does anyone own a 1934 Tudor sedan with original front seats that will be willing to send me a measurement that I need so I can make the assembly? I would be most grateful! I need to recreate the unite in the attached picture. Blessings to all! Jim Hastings

JR, thank you so much for the reply. Last June I sent my seats to LeBarron Bonney to be upholstered. They sent all the rest of the interior first and then told me my two bucket seats were not correct. Well, since August I have been searching for seats to buy or a seat to replicate. LB sent me the picture I attached. I know your seats are probably covered and PLEASE do not tear them apart for this. I have a machine shop here that says if I can get two paper patterns, they can make the assembly for me. Here is what I need. If you could wrap and pin butcher paper or newspaper around the back of the seat and trace the outline, they can cut the metal and bend to shape. (It will probably look like #1 in my attached sketch) Second, if you could remove the cushion and make a pattern of the bottom, (especially the curve where the back attaches) that will help with adjusting the size of the back to fit. (It will probably look like #2 in my attached sketch. I am shooting in the dark here because I have never actually seen this unit and how the bottom seat attaches and how big that bottom part that is attached to the seat actually is. If you could make the patterns, I would be soooo grateful! Is this something you can do? Jim Hastings 15419 Greens Cove Way Houston Texas 77059 281-900-9475 Blessings to all! Jim Hastings

Jim,have you run want ads on this site and on the Ford Barn for those seats? If not you should give it a try.There's lots of those 34 tudors out there and someone should have a set of those seats. There's a pair of 35 tudor sedan seats listed on Fordbarn. They can't be too much different than the 34's. This message was edited by trjford8 on 1-26-16 @ 5:55 PM

You might also try the HAMB. The hot rodders change the seats quite often when they do a build. Tom

Jim, Seat patterns as you requested will be mailed this afternoon. I took a few pics along the way during development of patterns. Let me know if you need them too. Good luck. J. R. Greer
