Elite/Eclat front seats

[Pete Boole]

Does anyone have any Elite/Eclat front seats they no longer want - It doesn't matter how bad they are! I'm starting some experiments to recreate the seat foams and I need some old ones to mess on with

Thanks

I gave 2 to Ian a few years back. Try him.

Think they havent moved since.

I have saved an old double mattress foam that feels about the right density (is there a way to test this?) as I think one of the seat squabs is a bit soft on my car. You are welcome to some of this if you need it, and if you find a way to recreate the cushions without too much work, we might be able to buy some off you and sell them on for the club if you are interested!

Cheers, Richard

Thanks guys. My plan is to use the original seat foam to create bucks (patterns) - not sure how yet, but have a couple of ideas - then to make a super-stiff all-enclosed split mould that can be filled with two-pack self-foaming polyurethane. The moulds will need to be really strong because of the pressure that builds up. Well - that's plan A!

What's Ian's username on here? I'll message him.

Let's have a chat on the next Zoom meet Pete.
I have two spares, that last time I looked had decent foam. was thinking of doing 2 seats in leather and 2 to the original trim, so not exactly spare, but if it's patterns your looking for, I may be able to help.

Cheers Tony. I've got a local auto upholstery guy making mock-up head rest covers to try and fit them over the steel/foam headrests - looks impossible to me - the "neck" below the headrest is so small - but they must have done it in the factory somehow. Anyone know how?

Cheers
