Yep. Those are the ones I found. I plan to cross ref them with the drivers side I have. Thanks for the info.

I will keep an eye on your post to watch for any progress.

I forgot to put in the link, it�s there now.� I think the CJ3A seats are thicker than the 2A.� I have all the stuff ordered to make new springs, if they come out OK I might be making some to sell, we�ll see.� I�ll post the results of my efforts here.  I think the CJ5 used coil springs, the 3A used zig zag springs, 4� high.

The springs on the driver might be in good shape. Even the covers are ok. The new frame is for the passenger.  The springs are their but rusted out. I was planning to use foam for the cushions.
I don't see a link to the cj2a pattern. But if it is the one I found online. That was my starting place. Right now I don't need factory replacement, just want something very close, I'm not even sure the frame I have is for a 3A, I was told it might be CJ5, but it will be close.

Thanks for any info.

There is a pattern for 2A seats here.� The seat on a 3A is a little thicker and the back is a little shorter.� Are your springs in good shape, or even there?� I am going to be making springs and covers for my 49.

So I just picked up a passenger seat from a swap meet. And it needs all new covers. Has anyone made their own and have a pattern? I just need to have some thing to last a year or two before doing a full restoration. I want to get it licenced and on the road first.
