Need help with assembling 1915 roadster seat wood

Post by frank.koonce » Wed Feb 04, 2026 10:17 pm

Hello. I can't figure out some details about the seat assembly kit from Cubels for a 1915 Roadster. I would be grateful if some of you could help me with these questions:

1. See picture #1. Are the lower extensions of these seatback vertical posts supposed to sit on top of the seat riser cutout, as shown in the picture, or is it supposed to go outside of it?

2. What is the cutout of the seat bottom in picture 1 for?

3. See picture #3. I am not sure where this piece goes. I am wondering if it goes on top of the seat bottom as shown in picture #2 and #5. If not, where?

4. See picture #4. Is the seat back frame supposed to tilt back more at the top? As it is now, more or less vertical, this is the way it lines up with the cutouts.

5. What is the cutout on the driver side vertical post for?

Thank you.

The one in left corner at the rear looks to me to be the one possibly for on the right side where the door latch goes. From the angle it looks like the whole back section is too high for the body metal. Unless you don't have the tin against the sill at the bottom. The part on the floor looks like it might the top for the back panel.
