seat back

19” tall
19” width at top
15” width at bottom

Does anyone have the series 4 seat measurements don’t trust my measurements. Would like those off the series 4 seat. Have a 3 dat trip planned for May and would like them completed by then. My one piece seat is very uncomfortable

Are these the new seats that Kiftox sells for the 4?

No. I bought these direct from Oregon Aero. They are for series 5 thru 7

So you got bare foam cushions from Oregon Aero for DIY upholstery? I have looked on their web site a few times and didn't find any Kitfox offerings.

That is what I did. Give them a call. They make more than they advertise!

Mine seemed a little long in that direction too (Model 5). What I do is install them first with the front edge even with the front of the seat pan, then I put in the seat backs.

I am putting in the seat bottom first and then placing the backs on top of the seat cushion.

So does anyone have these measurements for the model 4 seats?
just want to see if they would fit in my model 1 seat pan

FWIW it is exactly the same as the KF3 seat. Next time I'm at the hanger I can measure the width at the front and back of the seat.
