: : Hello,
: : I'm interested to see if I can obtain a Rear Seat Cushion with the optional fold down armrest.Also, is it possible to upgrade my car to have the armrest added??
: -----------------------
: What model Fordor?If you have a 165-B three window, it is no problem to make it a 155-B Town Sedan."The 60-B (Leatherback) and 60-C (Steelback) are smaller bodies so I don't know if they would fit without some work.The 170-A (2-window) is dimensionally the same as the 155-B & 165-B.They were never available with Deluxe trim but everything will fit.
: I believe the seat units are available reproduction through Le Baron Bonney Co., and there are likely restorable units available out there.
Hi Marco,
Yes, I should have identified the Fordor, sorry.I think I have a Briggs 60-C, but don't really know for sure.I am extremely confused when it comes to identifing the body. It is definatley a Briggs, not a leatherback, but don't know the other differences. I have ordered a book from Snyder's "Body Parts" that should help me with identy.
I question if it is a 60-C, as I have ordered a complete wood kit, and have questions about the fit.
Do I need just the backrest, or a complete rear seat??
P.S. I spoke to LB about front seats, and they weren't too helpful there.
Thanks Again.Richard
