Seat Foam?

[Dunkin]

I am sure this has been brought before, since there were over 4,000 of these made why has no one reproduced seat foam for these? You would think there would be a demand because of the car's age. Thank you.

There really isn’t any reason to reproduce the seat foam. It is a simple seat form and like many makes you just glue and cut the new foam from stock foam dimensions.

Thanks for response, the trim shops I have been in contact with seem to be scared of doing that.

You’re welcome! I’ve never known or worked for an upholstery shop that ever considered looking for a pre made foam for any make or model car, boat, plane or semi tractor. We purchase foam with proper density and made our foam using an electric knife to carve it. I’m sure if you keep looking, you’ll find a professional upholsterer that won’t question the job. Drop it off and let them get it done. I just had a thought come to mind. Are you planning to do the job on your own using pre made seat covers and pre made foam?

Thanks, I will have it done by an upholstery shop. I understand what you are saying on the foam density and electric knife. I am debating purchasing the premade one from Studebaker Intl. or having the shop make it.
