I now have a set of 1969-72 Factory Bucket seats(Thanks Jeff graemlins/thumbsup.gif )- They have good covers on them- The seat back sections are PERFECT- Seat Bottoms "Feel" worn out... I plan to take them to a shop and have the bottom covers removed and repair the bottom springs and replace the bottom Foam.

I am worried about them sitting up too high after being done... I had a set redone a few years ago with Foam from OPG and they raised it up way too much- You sat ONTOP of the seats instead of IN the seats if you know what i mean. I want to avoid that this time...

Is there a brand of seat foam i can get that doesn't have this problem, or is it just up to the installer to trim the center foam down till it sits right?

Thanks-
Ben

On the year one site, they actually tell you to trim them yourself.
