Perhaps you have the wrong seat.A July '31 and later coupe
uses an all-metal framed seat with a kind of "built into it"
riser.The section where the tracks fasten is several inches
lower than the part where the cushion sits.Your cushion
should have an oak frame-work with routered edges onto which
your spring is affixed and the upholstery fabric is nailed.
This framework holds the cushion in the correct position, so
your lower extremities do no "fall into" the seat pan.There
are no "boards" used in either the early or late seat.In the
case of the early seat, there is a steel lower riser, then the
tracks are fastened to a wooden seat base, which again is an
elegent oak outer framework with an open center which provides
the ledge for the cushion and its oak framework to rest.Does
any of this sound familiar?
