Bought some 914rubber seat covers by way of stevegm. Super nice product but...there is still more to do before they can go on. The seats are very rough cores so I hope to replace as much foam as possible.
I am going to the upholstery shop tomorrow to see what they can source for new foam, wire and metal brackets. I will also trace out new pressboard and cardboard. I ordered some seat heaters off eBay. I will also pick up matching bolters from 914rubber. Disassembly is always the easy part. Attached image(s)

Staying tuned into this thread. I've been noticing a sore vertebrae in my back after driving the teener for a long period...think the foam in the backrest is getting weak and my spine is pressing up against the fiberglass seat frame.
Post lots of pics Mark! |

Post lots of pics Mark! Bob - I will. I started taking apart your old seat and it looks like some seats had the carpet pad while some had felt. I will post soon. The good news is that it would be easy to modify and restore the back pad of the seat without tearing apart the entire seat and starting fresh. I am buying plenty of high density foam so I'll have extra for you to play with. |
