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 :shock:

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


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 ............. :lol:

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.
