Thanks Bob,

I spoke with Les on Friday and he is sending me the foam bottom. My foam is flat wore out, so I'm looking forward to sitting a little taller. Thanks for the tips on the install.

We're in the same boat, the driver's side seat bottom of our 1971 240Z needs new foam, needs the original cover resewn (sun wiped out the stitching), and those little green straps underneath that apppear to hold it all together need be replaced. Does all this stuff come in a kit, or can you do things yourself with alternate things? In our case 3 of 4 seats are great (tops & bottoms).

Also curious what the rings are you mentioned, perhaps that's part of the greet strap array ?? Sorry to sound out of it, but truly a novice.

Every place I call is out of stock for the foam kits for the 240. Who have you purchased them from? 

Are the molded kits better than to pieced together seats? (When I removed the covers on mine it looks like it's just a bunch of pieces as opposed to a molded seat.

Thanks

They're called "hog-rings" and they're the stiff pieces of wire crimped around the edges of the material and the wires and the springs to hold everything in place.  Search hog-ring on the net and you'll find a bunch.  They were/are crimped in to the noses of hogs so that they can be controlled.  Actually, (edit, I'd forgotten) so they don't root around.  They make different sizes for different noses, from little piggies to big hogs.

I've purchased two sets from Mike @ Banzai. He's a great person to deal with.

Pig nose rings...Ouch!
