Default Seat rebuild...... need some help

The last thing I have to do on my Rebuild is the seats. The plywood is rotted to the point that I can't use the old one for a template. Does anyone have the measurements for making a new plywood base? Thanks

If no one gets you any information on this soon, I will be tearing down one with a good base in a few days to put new vinyl on it. I also have one that is rotten beyond use so I will be making a drawing of the good one.

I will be able to get the measurements then if you still need them.

I think I may be able to use this one. It's not as bad as I thought.

Little weathered. But indeed it doesn't look horrible.

The one I have that needs replacing.. it is crumbled everywhere.

well it looks good enough that you can make a templet to make a new bottom.

Slightly off topic, but is there some sort of cover or plastic for the back of the seat back? The cart I bought had the seats recovered but it was done half *** and the wood is exposed and you can see all the staples.

Thanks

Thanks Nuke. That's what I meant. I used it for a template to make a new one. Just have to cover it now.

Just need to drill holes then work on the new covers. My first time doing them so we'll see. Been watching YouTube

Dixie Chopper..... I know that the hinge plates are just SCREWED onto the wood.....but the handles have a metal insert for a bolt. not sure where to get those, but certainly someone here has had to find those before.....

BTW.....nice looking job making the bottom!

Thank you sir! Yeah I think they're called T-nuts. They bite into the opposite side of the wood and allow you to put a bolt through. Just can't leave any extra sticking out the other side or you'll get a surprise when you sit on the seat.....

That's it......that's what you need. I just did a google search and you can get them at Home Depot. just need to decide what size you need.
