Bench seat rebuild spring pockets!
I've stripped my bench seats of there upholstery, the Base unit had hessian pockets in the springsame. With cotton wadding in them , plus mice poop and nests!
Anyone know what I can use to read build them ... im guessing foam cubes inserted in the springs then a layer of foam over the top before the seat cover goes back on? Any ideás http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/ia...tml?sort=3&o=4 http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/ia...tml?sort=3&o=0 http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/ia...tml?sort=3&o=1 http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/ia...tml?sort=3&o=2 Last edited by sqweaka; 02-05-2017 at 04:19 PM. |

Re: Bench seat rebuild spring pockets!
I can see your truck is an AD and my truck is a TF, but it appears neither has the original padding in their seats.
I just removed all the old upholstery and padding on my TF and there was no padding stuffed into the seat coil springs at all. Frankly I cant see what the positives would be of foam INSIDE the coils for seat cushioning? My seat APPEARED (but who can really tell after 60 years?) to still have the original gunny sack material stretched over the bare springs. Foam was above that and that looked to me like it had been changed but many years ago. Are you thinking putting foam INTO the coils would quiet squeaking or something?
