    What aspects of the larger airframe seats are you looking for?

    Seat bottom

    17 1/2” long
    15 1/2” rear width
    17” front width
    3” thick with sculptured butt relief about 2” thick

    seat back

    19” tall
    19” width at top
    15” width at bottom
    2” thick at bottom
    1 1/2” thick at top also sculptured for lumbar support.

    a bit pricey but they are comfy. It’s just another airplane part!

    Here are pics of the cushions. I have a leather hide coming and will have a local upholstery guy cover them and make boots for the sticks n such.

    Your seats look real nice John! I’ll use them as a reference for my upholstery guy so he knows where to put the seams.
