Hi Gang, I just sat in the 914 to work on my turn signal switch and tore my passenger seat bottom. Ratfarts! Must be a combination of being cold and old. Anyway, I'm sure this is a common problem on our old seats. Where can I get the material for the seat inserts, or is there a preferred upholsterer? Thanks for the help.

People go both ways. If you need one cushion, I would look for a good used one. If you get reproduction it won't match due to the 40+yr of age. IMO you need to replace it all with new. If you just do the centers with new material, labor is going to run the price up, maybe over the 914rubber kits. The car is worth more with all original. Even a premium price for a used seat cushion would be worth it.
