Do you guys know of anyone who makes new seat cushions for the Harvard/SNJ/T-6?

My posterior wants new ones.

Ollie, I highly recommend these:

Expensive cushion, cheap insurance. I have the 306 model, which fits the T-6 seat. I rode around on the old Irvins for years until one day I was over the mountains and it was getting dark. I suddenly thought, if the engine quit now, would I jump? The answer was no. I would not have survived either way. After that, I ordered the chutes. Never had to use them, but still don't regret buying them.

Thanks for the tip.

Ollie,

A fellow Harvard owner is getting some made up in BC. I'll let you know how they fit. Otherwise, PM me and I'll give you the contact info.

As Drew mentioned I am have some done, cost around $1000 per seat. The easiest for you is to remove the rear seat (took me less than 10 minutes) and take it to an upholstery shop that can source aviation certified material. I went with 9 inches thick for the seat and 2 inches for the back.
