Are these 100-4 seats... yes or no?

Tim,
I believe they are identical to my BN2 seats, excpt for the fact that mine had moldy, disintegrating, rat infested, way ugly BLACK covers. Don't throw out the old covers, they will help you put on the new covers if you do that yourself. You will, of course, need the wood box frames that go in the seat pans. Good luck with the bidding.

From a very early BN1 looking at the 3 hole adjustment,they were set up for short,medium,long leg by picking the pair of boltholes that suited, and direct bolted thru the pan with a wooden spacer betwixt pan and seat on mine

zblu,
I would say they are seats from a 100, but not necessarily a '53. The holes drilled in the base are the same pattern as my '54 which has a sliding adjustment for the driver only. This feature is not part of the seat pan, but the under-seat support, which has fixed bolts that project up into the seat pan.
The trim style is not to the original pattern which had vertical pleats.

pan,
your quite right, just looked in the parts book and there they are, just that mine came sans slides, have them in now, but am thinking of removing same so as to lower self further into cockpit to enable better vision thru the windscreen, not the top rail on the windscreen!

zblu,
Even without the seat sliders, the seat would be at the same height, wouldn't it?
I would have thought the wooden packer to be similar in height to the slider.
