Seat foams - where to buy?
Discussion
The driver and passenger seats bottom foams has collapsed after 100,000 miles and 22 years. We can see there are bits of foam broken off on the carpet.
Having search the internet and forums, we cannot find anyone who sells the high density cell for the seats.
Can anyone here recommend anybody who sells the seats foams please?
Cheers!!

Apologies for the cross posting in advance. Since the Griffith and Chimaera have the same seats, I thought I'll ask here as well.

Take the seat out and inspect first.
It is not likely to be the foam....what happens is the seat 'springing' is a mesh of wires which both rust away and cut into the foam. If the wires are replaced or bodged a sheet of vinyl between the springs and foam will solve the cutting problem.
Look for earlier threads where peeps have 'repaired' the springs using cable ties. It probably works fine but not something I could do on a customers car.

Thanks Steve. Unfortunately the foams have gone brittle and are breaking up. We looked at putting a mat between the wires / springs and the foam for support but there's just not much foam left.

Also we want to do this job once and then forget it for another 20 years so we decided we want new foams and replace all rusty / worn wires.
Would you be able to pm us any contacts please?
Cheers
Garrison and Marta

I successfully replaced the bum foam sections of my standard Chim seats with this foam supplier from Ebay.

Last year I rebuilt the bases on my Griffith seats.
Here is what I did using upholstery stretch webbing. If you or anyone’s interested I can post more details or PM me.
Yes please!!Here is what I did using upholstery stretch webbing. If you or anyone’s interested I can post more details or PM me.
Unfortunately the seat foams are a lot worse than in this photo, with the edges and surface of the foams broken down with bits falling off like an old washing sponge
