Lowell,

I would have thought that one of the others guys who post here all the time would have already responded to your request. But I guess they didn't have the info you needed, soooo ------

Here are pictures of a seat pan and the Bottom cushion from a set of NOS Cushions that we have. The NOS set is new and still in the box awaiting a future project.

Hope this is the info you are looking for.

Note in the lower photo,,the overhang of the cushion on the side that faces away from the seat back. I have several sets from the same batch.

Most are reconditioned, appear to be USMC.

Are these sprung?

Would they fit a GPW?

Sprung, yes. Fit GPW, no. Too large and built different.

I've just seen too many photos of sprung seats in wartime photos - any excuse to make the ride easier :wink: :wink:
