TR2/3/3A Missing rear seat back rest/bulkhead.

My restoration car TS66256 L.O. is missing the back seat rest. I have been searching the web/moss motors for a replacement but can't seem to find one or a pattern /instructions for making a replacement. Ideas/options/wisdom on what to do is greatly appreciated.

Not sure what you mean. Can you explain a bit more?

The back or "occasional" seat was an option. On the later cars, it was just an upholstered board that bolted to the raised floor behind the front seats. The back of it was just the panel that covers the gas tank (which had a very small amount of cushioning built into it even on cars that never had the seat option).

The upholstered boards are available from TRF, 562003 for leather or 561998 for vinyl.

seat.jpgThe back section is a upholstered hard board that covers the gas tank, as Randall said. That item was used on all cars. The seat bottom is a plywood with foam and upholstery. The bottom "seat" was an option. I don't have the catalog handy but I'm sure Moss, Victoria British and Roadster Factory have them. You would have to buy the hard board, which is shaped to fit and I think the upholstery part is sold separately. Another source is 2tall custom interiors which post a lot on ebay for interior sets and seat, but would provide individual pieces. I occasionally see the back sections on ebay too.

Here's a look at the backside of mine - it's a TS47000 but possibly what you need is similar.

Not much to it - main panel is Masonite, top bit (curved) is sheet metal. The 1x2 is a reinforcement I added. With that basic framework the upholstery kit would complete the piece.

Hi Paul,

I posted a couple of photos and a Masonite link for forming the shape on 7/22 "Rear Seat Mill Board". I made a fixture to bend the Masonite. Its pretty easy to do it. I recommend trimming after its formed, or it will probably crack. I used my old millboard as a pattern.
