I want to restore my '34 Roadster to a standard front bench seat (previous owner put velour buckets in). Is there a frame to purchase or should one get the following parts from (MAC?): bottom&back springs, seat track, seat ratchet, and side braces? Do I need all of them? Is there something missing? As another alternative, I've seen, what I think are, complete front seat frames for roadsters on the net. I think under all circumstances I'll go with LaBaron Bonny for the upholstery.

To my knowledge the front seat in a roadster is not adjustable. Check with LeBaron-Bonney as they may have all the parts you need except for the metal seat riser. I believe it is reproduced.

Unlike a '32 roadster, the '33-'36 roadster seat riser is made of wood. Only a '37 roadster has an adjustable seat.

trjford8,3w2, Thank you both. I frankly like the idea of no adjustment since, with the rare exception allowed for my sons-in-law, I am the only driver. I'll just set it up for myself (unless I discover a simple way to allow some minor adjustment). Yeah, I'll check with LaBaron-Bonney and also examine another roadster carefully when I see one next.
