Seriously, if you can post a picture of what you have, it would help. The bottom cushion is not attached to the body. It slides in under the back cushion and is held in tension by the lower platform. The upper cushion has 2 metal tabs on the wood frame that slide into slits in the structure supporting the rear panel. Here are the tabs... https://modelastore.com/index.php?ro...&category_id=0

28-29 ( https://www.brattons.com/28-29-tudor...hion-clip.html )is different than 30-31 ( https://www.brattons.com/30-31-tudor...hion-clip.html )

Re: Rear Seat
The lower seat cushion has two metal brackets that are attached to the front of the seat cushion wood fame and seat in just behind the seat riser thus preventing the cushion from sliding forward

Re: Rear Seat
I have attached photos of the seat that I have. I am not sure it is a complete seat. I think there should be a wood frame on the rear of the springs. I was told it is out of a 1928 tudor sedan.

Re: Rear Seat
How does the back cushion attach to the rear of the vehicle with no wood to attach the bracket? Could you send a picture of yours?

Re: Rear Seat
There is two hooks on the inside of the body and the top of the spring wires clip into these hooks. I will try to get a photo later.

Re: Rear Seat
Here is the backrest wood that all our vendors sell for 28-31 Model A Tudors...
Here's the picture of a Model A Tudor rear seat I posted on the OP's other thread on the same subject... Here's the seat back the OP has... They look different to me. The upholstery on the OP's covers some of the wood which makes identifying it tough, but the outside 2 vertical wood pieces on the top one should show on the bottom one and they don't. I'd try a test fit in the Tudor. I could be wrong, or someone may have modified another seat to fit in a Tudor.

Re: Rear Seat
Interesting. I'm stumped. When I redid my Tudor this time last year the frame is identical to what Dick has posted. I don't recall ever seeing the "loop" retainers or the taper on the slats. Is it possible this is a Canadian built car. There were differences as well all know.

Re: Rear Seat
The seat I have does not have any wood at the top just open spring frame and the material is hog ringed to the spring framing. So if this was an early 1928 seat they may have been different than the 30-31? Midgetracer said his seat looks just like mine.

Re: Rear Seat
According to the Clastique's PDF for Tudor page 4 some Tudors did have this frame
https://www.classtiqueupholstery.com...o_31_Tudor.pdf Not sure of the mountings though, maybe give them a call |

Re: Rear Seat
Dang! someone has the answer. Just checked some of my books with no luck. I'm still thinkin Canadian or perhaps Phaeton rear seat backrest. Can't wait to hear more from Midgetracer.

Re: Rear Seat
Attached are the pictures I promised. My car is a 29 Tudor made in the Twin Cities. It is always been together and I am sure the wood and hooks are original. Hooks are as pictured earlier and are screwed to the wood below the window sides.

Re: Rear Seat
The wire that the upholstery is hog ringed to slides over the hooks. I have a second Tudor that has the same wood. NO top wood, only the wood as shown in my pictures.

Re: Rear Seat
You have answered my questions. This rear seat back was made during 1928-29 and now I can see how to hang it in the car. Thanks to all that replied to my questions I have learned a lot and maybe others have too.

Re: Rear Seat
Speaking of 28/29 Tudor rear seats, I just had my seats re-upholstered. I try to fit the two metal 'hooks' to each other, and the seat hangs about two inches off the bottom cushion... I assume the two 'hooks' should 'meet' each other, correct? In earlier discussions about my original upholstery, someone mentioned that it looked like I had a 1930 seat, as it was pleated. Previous to my new upholstery, I can't swear the two hooks were ever connected. I believe the seat back was just 'thrown' in to rest on the seat bottom. When I just tried to 'hook' the two braces together, I saw they were NOT aligned. So I moved the seat hooks to meet each other, and found the seat now hangs too HIGH..... Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: Rear Seat
I just looked at the clip on my cushion, and it is a 30/31 style. See pic. Could that be my problem? Would a 28/29 clip fix it?
