Checks Synders 2011 Catalogue. They carry the 23-25 rear front seat riser no. TM-121-C. Not cheap but avaliable. It also may be shown on their website. The Catalogue has a picture of the seat riser.
Try Model T Haven. They have a lot of T bodies or whats left of them. I dont think anybody makes any more seat metal for the 23-25 Coupes. The seat riser is not listed in Howells T Sheet Metal catalogue. Somebody else must make it for Snyders.
Good luck

John, In addition to Snyder's TM-121-C you'll need to look for the front panel. If I recall correctly, the coupe and Fordor piece is the same. This would be the part in the foreground.

Yes there is a total of 4 pieces for the 23-25 Coupe front seat metal. Besides what you show in the pic. there are 2 pieces that go on the side of the wooden framework that are on either side of the seat cushions. They kind of hold the seat cushions in place. Thats the best way I can describe it. Maybe you have some that arent in the car yet.
When I restored my 24 Coupe it seems there was the ones in your pic and the 2 pieces I mentioned.

Hello Kurt,

Here are a two more pictures that may help you identify what you need to locate. The first picture is from the Price List of Body Parts.
It shows the metal pieces that I believe you are missing.


The next picture is taken of our Fordor Sedan Seat Base. The front section shown by Tom I believe is the same for both the Fordor and the Coupe. This picture will give you some idea of what it should look like.


Here is a picture of the Fordor Base when I was Restoring the Car. Disregard the back section as it is a different section that you will need to find for your Coupe.



Best regards, John

George its left over pcs from a good T buddy who passed away 18 yrs ago, and several T fellows have been in the same building and gleaned parts, they told the widow the building is empty, she and I went to look so she could sell this building but there was stuff on 3 floors so I'm still cleaning it out, some T, A, Reo Royal, 20-30-40-50's chevy, ford, and lots of ????? type parts, a Reo reel lawn mower, w/ extra Reo motor, huge frame, and rear end we assume is Reo Royal, trying to get heavy stuff down out of the 3rd floor presently

You could try your hand at sheet metal work. Make a wooden form of the first part you want to make. Get some 20 gauge sheet steel drop offs from a salvage yard or sheet metal shop. Make a kraft paper pattern, leave some excess, then cut out a sheet metal blank. Get your hammer, some blocks and c-clamps and give it a whirl. You will be surprised what you can do with a little practice.
