I'd love to find a set up seat foams that are MUCH firmer (no not rock hard) and not made of the cheap stuff V.B. and other sell these days. Anyone know of any injection molded closed cell seat foams? the yellowish stuff? Or am I gonna' have to make molds and make them myself!
Paul Tegler Paul, I made my own foams using automotive specific seat foam I bought from a supplier (Astro foam) in Lake Charles, LA. I don't know if they are on the web yet but they have a very complete catalogue of upholstery stuff. The seat foams are for some TR4 seats I put in my TR3. The "bulk" foam is easily cut with an electric carving knife (yes the one you used on your thanksgiving turkey). Use the old ones as patterns. For areas that require a bolster, carve the shape and use the foam specific glue to attach it. The automotive specific foam is more dense and is fire retardant. You probably could find it locally if you have an upholstery supply house near by.
