dimtavies Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 In the process of putting my Mk 2 back on the road after a year of no driving licence for medical reasons, not booze !Anyway the drivers seat is just crumbling away badly inside, I have looked and can't seem to find anyone who sells cushions, covers etc for the early type seats. Now I may be being unusually thicker than most but I did have brain surgery last year so I have an excuse, and apologies if it is blindingly obvious.ThanksTim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Newton Commercial is who you need.http://www.newtoncomm.co.uk/cars/triumph-gt6/model-154/seats/I have a pair of MK2 seats that need completely rebuilding, but having totted up the cost, I've decided they'll stay in the shed a little while longer. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Garvey Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Wow - at that price maybe take them into a trimmers and have cushions made? They can use different densities for different section to make them far better than any stock foam you may find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 One of the problems with the early seats is the padding up th sides on the frame.This is not the normal soft cushion that you cut and fit.Thats why these seats are so expensive to repair; but great when they are done right.You could give Aldridge Trimming a call?

RedRooster Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Why not ask Owen if he wants to start a new line & he could use your seats as templates :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRIS211083 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Owen says he wants to do the other foams but needs the seats to make them. I think this is your chance.Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
