1970-72 seat foam to become available

Of course they come out now. About a year too late for me. Oh well, my upholstery folks shaped a pair for me and made up some new leather to go over that after rebuilding some broken and missing springs. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Foam and leather $1750.

I spoke to them Monday and they said they'd be available "in days". Guess it's time!

From what I understand ,71 - 72 seat bottom has no structure in the foam to hold your weight , just the thickness of the foam and the seat frame. 73-74 has a wire support molded into the seat bottom about half way thru , it rests on top of the seat frame to hold your weight across the frame, even with the wire support after time it sags. From what I see from foam seat pictures ,your only buying the foam that sits on top of the 73-74 wire support or the 71-72 piece from the top of the seat frame up .not buying the foam that goes underneath that supports your weight . Wish they sold them when I did my 73 seats ,I spend a lot of time building up my seats side support and bottom . The new seat bottom would save a lot time. from what I see , the seat back could be used on 73-74 it would need to be thined down as 71-72 seat backs are almost twice as thick, If your seat back foam is a little worn-out just open the bottom of the seat back and carefully stuff fiber fill ( 1/2 inch thick) comes in the flat , this will take out wrinkles and sags  and give back support.
