I just tried fitting my new Beachwood GPA seat cushions in my GPA. They all looked good and fit well except my rear upper seat cushion. Beachwood had 4 snaps on the top edge and my GPA has 6 snaps on the body.
Which is correct? Was there a change from 4 to six during production. What does everyone else have? David

Re: Snaps on rear upper seat cushion
Beachwood was nice enough to call back today and tell me 6 is correct. Turns out they hadn't installed the 6 snaps at all and I was trying to fit the bottom 4 snap end on the 6 snap section. My mistake. All the other snaps on all the other seats were installed by Beachwood but not the upper edge of the upper rear seat cushion rear seat so I made an incorrect assumption.

Hi David,
That is nice of Beachwood to call you.
I responded with photos on the G503 allready but the number of 6 snaps is OK.
How do the seat cushions of Beachwood look like? Are they leather or canvas?

Re: Snaps on rear upper seat cushion
They are an exact simulated leather. I preferred this because they're waterproof and half the price of leather. I'll post a photo in a day or so. David

Re: Snaps on rear upper seat cushion
A friend of mine, Dave from Weebee Webbing made a run of original leather cushions, if there is enough peple he might make another run.
He has copies of the original Ford drawings, and very nice pebbled leather, see sample:

I have David's (WeeBee Webbing) cushions on mine... I am very pleased with them, and have received numerous compliments on them.
