I finally got back and loaded my new seat in. It is really comfortable, but the extra stiff foam scrim I used added about half an inch to the seat ride height and now my head bumps the targe top. Looks like I may be ripping the cushion apart and shaving a half inch of foam off the bottom!
Out with the old and in with the new!  The new seat in place:  |

QUOTE(Eric_Shea @ Dec 29 2010, 12:00 PM)  They're not for everyone. I'd be most worried about cutting the headrest off. That's a major saftey thing that nobody should do unless they're going for a period look and understand the implications. Wouldn't use them without headrests in the 914. That back window is too close. I have another project in mind..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Thanks! To be honest this is my fourth seat to recover. I started at 16 doing the seats, door panels, and backrest. This is MUCH better than my First attemtpt.
