question Seats ?

[rampant rivet]

I've had a look at my seats that came out of the Bedford MW I am restoring and I'm not sure if they are the correct ones or from something else ? Can anyone shine some light ?

 

 

 

 

This label is attached to the underside. I don't think its a Bedford MW part No.

The ones in my 2 bedfords are different , late ones are all metal , the early ones have a wooden bottom.

The number looks like a NATO stock number, but a quick search doesn't return anything - I'm reading the number as:

 

2540 99 804 3267

 

You can try a few permutations here:

Quite a good free search for NSNs...

That NSN would be long gone as obsolete. The seat looks like a standard Bedford supplied part as it is in black. I think it was probably supplied under that NSN for a QL as they were the last WW2 Bedfords to be in service. It may well be a part that was in stock prior to NSN system and re-codified. The QL seat is same makers part number as the MW (going by the QL parts book).

Thought I'd take some comparison photos of a Bedford QL seat and the ones I have

 

 

 

 

A fair difference in size and style. Label was found on underside of seat cushion seats are covered in black vinyl with red piping which made me think of their origin.

The parts label is from the 6MT13 group, so could be used on a number of vehicles. Clive might be able to check the NSN out.
