    Re: seat bolsters

    Well, I would say the ones on CGB for around £29 each as they look the right shape although not fiited them myself, I did buy a set of 4 'cheaper' bolsters for £50 howefer they were huge and not the correct shape. Either that or source some foam yourself, take old bolster out and try to make replacements

    If I was to take a bolster out I'd just have a pile of foam dust

    If youre getting them professionally reupholstered, then the upholsterer will make some probably. Get them wrapped in leather of denim and it stops them from collapsing

    Last time I did that, the bloke at the upholstery place was tutting and murmuring about the fact the originals are moulds, made of special material, have webbing woven into them and are a very awkward shape.

    Just getting an accurate shape in decent density foam for a good price will be a result

    Agreed, I will see how close they can get to it for a sensible price.
