the rear seat squab for my 356a appears to have shrunk over the years -

and now i have decided to have the interior trimmed i need the correct dimensions .

if anyone could measure the squab and post the dimensions here i would really appreciate it .

cheers
Steve

Hi Steve
how do you want it measured as its a bit squashy and in its fitted form not flat, Bill.

Hi bill ,

basically the overall width corner to corner along the front edge (no need to go over the hump -)

the same along the rear edge -

and a front corner to rear corner width measurement ...

if you want to throw in a diagonal corner to corner i wouldnt complain

it is just to get a fighting chance with the thing as it looks like it has been freeze dried, mummified, headshrunk... i think you get the idea

even allowing for carpet /sound deadening and wishful thinking, the fit is hardly interference

any help is gratefully received

cheers Paul - once again you are a star

i dont want to be greedy - my seat will live to fight again, so no need for the one you have - it may help someone with a more genuine need

of course if you have five mins and a tape measure to hand .............

No worries...

It's on the pile of stuff to be slung out, so if you want it let me know.

Hi Steve
dimensions as follows, front edge width 890mm, rear edge width 760mm, length of left side 360mm, length of right side 355mm, diagonal 890mm, the seat base was measured inverted and supported to hold its installed shape, the measurements given are to a supposed corner, as the squab has radiused corners not nice angled ones, Bill.
