Seat Back Foams

[thebadleys]

Hi All,

Has anyone used these seat foams that re on Ebay?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-Stag-SEAT-FOAM-KIT-for-top-backrests-mk-2-some-customers-use-on-mk-1/271865142918?_trksid=p2054897.c100204.m3164&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140407115239%26meid%3D8c76b43658a04b09b48b53ff12336a49%26pid%3D100204%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D30%26sd%3D251648535635

They appear very cheap compared with others.

given that the other one piece style that everyone else sells needs cutting and modifying to fit then you may as well save money and buy this kit!

I have used this kit to do my seats. Worked a treat.
Cheers Rob.

Mine is a Mk1 and these are sold as Mk2's. I wonder what you have to do to make them fit the MK1's

I emailed Mike and below is his response.

hi terry, stag bolster kit....i only mentioned that mk.1. customers have fitted them to mk.1. seats because they have ( the seats in advert photos is mk.2 and they have the kit fitted )...the only thing i can suggest is look at my " positive feedback " comments to see what they say?.....lastly, for £29 per seat it is an economical way of restoring the seats....best regards mike

This obviously does not answer my question therefore has anyone fitted these to MK1 seats and if so what was the finished product like?

For many years I have been clearing up breadcrumbs from under the passenger seat; so eventually getting round to investigating found that the original foams were reduced to dust; and the headrest foam was not much better.

I ordered a set of backrest foams from eBay (Mike Jasper) which have arrived today, the cover is still good with all internal straps still in place so I will re-use this. Also have a new headrest foam from EJ Wards.

Any tips on installing the foams would be much appreciated.

thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,

There's a detailed post on this by Chris (Vmad) in the technical section - body/interior on here. Sorry, I can't post a link from this tablet I'm afraid.
