For the bench seats i have used 12mm marine ply and screwed and glued this to a softwood frame for added strength . The rear seat will be hinged from its front edge to allow access to the battery and fuel tanks that will be housed behind the seat. The front seat will be fixed solid . I have ordered some 4" firm (blue) foam for the seat scwabs and shall be using marine grade vinyl for the seat covering. The top photo shows both front and rear seats tilted forward on hinges , this was the easiest way to fix the seats so scraped the idea of solid mounting the front seat. One thing i have found during this build is that nothing is written in stone and the ability to adjust and alter your plans will help you progress with minimal fustration . The backs of the seats are bolted to the seat bases, this should help when it comes to covering the seats with vinyl .
