Hi, I am wondering what the padding you have on the squab is made of. It looks a bit like cotton or cap hock. Also have you used what was already installed in your car seat originally. I have the new foam, hessian and squab fibre but no padding for the top of the squad seat and before I remove the old covers and begin, I thought I'd check. Thanks in advance 🙂
Hi, Thanks for your question. I believe the padding is horsehair. I bought new from ESM, which also came with the (cotton?) frame padding. I did bolster this with some of the original material too. Feels like cotton wool.
I'm glad this popped up today. I've had some bmw 325 seats in my morris for a long time. They are comfy, but so heavy, and they are so huge, that theres no room for anyone in back, even if they are strong enough to tip the thing forward. Finally got some original seat frames, and now you got me motivated. thanks.
Did this job last year - got some info from an old mate who used to be an upholsterer - best tool for cutting foam is an electric carving knife! But to avoid summary execution I used an old bread knife - works really well
