    Are these the standard seats or the big and tall seats that come with the kits now?

    Thanks

    Can you measure the length of the seat bottom? I have the big and tall seats and would like to have the standard seats.

    As long as I have the seat out of the wrapper...

    Width of the bottom cushion near the back: 12 1/2"
    Width of the bottom cushion at the front: 15 3/4"
    Width of the seat back near the middle (this is the length of the tape as it curves, not straight across): 18 1/2"

    Unfortunately those measure out the same as my big and tall seats. FFR discontinued the standard seat and with the big and tall seats as standard seats a while ago. I was hoping you had the old style seats. If I'm wrong on this and someone knows the difference please let me know. Thanks for measuring them for me.

    I checked with FFR Parts Dept. My seats are SKU# 13939 which is the original seat, not the big and tall. He told me the overall dimensions are the same but the padding is thinner and a different density on the big and talls. They wanted to keep the original look but allow you to sit back into them deeper.

    So, these are the originals if you want them.

    Steve,

    Ok I've learned something new, I hate to ask but can you measure the thickness of the bottom cushion for me? If they're thicker I will take them.

    No trouble at all.

    2 1/4" and 5 1/4" where the tape is.



    According to Dave in FFR parts, the dimensions aren't much different. The foam density is where they made the changes. These seats are really firm. You don't sink down much at all and not back at all.

    He said the big and talls were designed to give an additional 2" of legroom and 1 to 1 1/2" head room.

    The seat backs are very firm and 3 1/2" thick at the top and roughly 4 1/2" at the lumbar (crude measurements)

    Adding photos of the frame. They sit flush with the bottom.



    I'm using Kirkeys so I don't have anything to compare them to.

    Steve,
    Do you already have the Kirkeys? I have new set with mounts and covers for sale. Your seats are thicker than mine, so those are the correct seats and I will take them. PM me your number so we can figure out the details.
    Thanks
