Eric:
While I was very satisfied with the quality, the Moss kits do not
include new foam for the headrests. I made my own (cost all of
$5) but I felt that the Moss kits should have included the headrest foam.
The fit, finish, and correctness of the texture, cut, etc. was first
rate, so if you can't find a kit that includes everything, then don't
hesitate to use Moss. Cutting a couple chunks of foam for the headrests was
easy (pro'lly why they left that out).
I believe that TRF kits include the head rest foam, but I can't
speak
to fit, originality, etc.
By the way, the Buckeye Triumphs web page has a very helpful
write-up
in their tech section on how to recover your own seats. VERY helpful.
Cheers,
Vance

Subject: 1976 TR6 reupholsery kits -- who's is best?
Add this to the list of questions that seems to come up every so often. I
apologize if this has been discussed recently.
Being that it is almost fall / winter, I'm considering the projects that
should be completed on my 1976 TR6. The biggest project is reupholstery of
my seats and interior panels. I plan on purchasing both the seat kits and
the panel kits from the same distributor to ensure matching vinyl.
My question to the group is: in your opinion, who provides the best, most
original foam kit and reupholstery kit in terms of fit and looks? The color
I need is Chestnut, if that matters for answering the question. I also have
the separate headrest that I also want to recover.
Thanks a bunch!!
