I have a pair of bomber seat that I pulled from an old time capsule roadster that I bought at auction a couple of years ago and I’m curious if anyone can identify what they were out of. The car that I got them from was parked in 66 and was built in 55 I’m loaning them to a buddy to run in a jalopy 29 roadster that we’re building in my shop Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
They seem to be aluminum. A magnet doesn’t stick to them. The bottoms of them are army green. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
The seat pan is too shallow for a bomber seat, the only bomber that had a shallow seat pan is the B17 which had flotation cushions and has a completely different profile from your seats. The rest including the Strearman and the N3N trainer had a deep seat pan for the parachute pack which was used as the seat cushion. Most likely they are from a transport plane for passenger use or a British plane.
