How ironic that you bought the seats off of Paul - I bought a full Black Stag trim off of Paul a few years ago now

Hello,
I rebuilt my seats some time ago with new and hard foams. The diaphragm was replaced by a sheet metal and head rests were added. The result were very "sportive" seats, i.e. a bit too much on the hard side. I hoped the foam would set a bit over the years, but it did not.

Best wishes,

Have you tried using the standard rubber diaphragm with the harder foam?

No, Allan, I have not. I was trying to "imitate" the bottom of the Mazda MX5 seats, which I use successfully in my TR6.

Best wishes,
Dieter.

The rubber diaphragm is also part of the seat cushioning.
If you have used harder foam and the metal sheet, it's going to be a lot harder.

Look into motorcycle seat foaming, as there are specialists who can change the foam to suit the rider, weight and style.
They use different grades of foam for different reasons.
