Are you talking about the 3 piece plastic back pad core?

We are doing another run on these and will have them ready in about 2 weeks. If you need one right away, PM me I have one in my personal stash I can get you.

PS some folks have simply covered these in perlon and opted out on the foam and vinyl.

I used this product to reupholster a backpad for another member here, about a year and a half ago. It's a good product but if you plan to upholster it as original, then the real problem is the foam. If you can re-use your original foam, then it's great. or source used foam if you can. If not, then you have to try to custom sculpt the foam.. which is what I had to do. It came out great but I'd only do it again as a labor of love (would have to charge way too much as a service to accurately sculpt out the foam for a customer). The original foam is not a simple design, luckily I had my own personal originals to go by.

Thanks for the info/offer. I'm a ways out before needing it. I would definitely entertain just wrapping with no foam, although I'd be curious to see how one looks before doing it.

Dont have any of the original back piece, foam, or covering so it would be from scratch. I would definitely entertain as mentioned, going without the foam just curious how it looks? Thanks
