Its beginning to fit up nicely. Wish I could help you with that detail but too new of car for me. Hopefully one of the guys has the answer you're looking for.
Great progress!

Hoping members can help me position my seat pan for my 1960 coupe 356b t5
Want to position for the proper height and angle.
Hoping for image box A I can obtain the height of the front of the heal pan from the top of the heal pan to bottom of seat. This is measurement #1 and height of seat pan from top off parcel shelf to bottom of seat pan measurement #2
As well for the front of the seat pan does it rest on the little ledge as shown in image box B? Any help appreciated.

I believe the winner is #1.
Although the pictures below are from a T-6B, I believe that is the same. I have no bare T-5 to check.I looked in the factory books and see no clear dimensions.
I hope this helps.

I can certainly appreciate all wrestling required to get all those "springy" panels to cooperate and fit down in there together like they are supposed to. Keep up the good fight!Justin RioComment

Thanks for the words of encouragement. All of these pieces with so many curves and compound shapes are a real PITA. But, the encouraging aspect is it is nice to fill in the empty spaces - it is startling to look like a car!!! Got both seat seat pans all burned in and in good shape. Got a whole night of grinding to come.Attached Files1960 356B T5 - under major resurrection.

Thanks JP. A good feeling for sure. Have to do this one mini project at a time so it doesn't become overwhelming. Anyone got a good hunk of tunnel hump cover? This one is roaches.1960 356B T5 - under major resurrection.
