I had the seats in my 76 B re-covered a few years ago. Although the webbing
had no tears, they looked stretched out, so I had the upholsterer replace
them (he made them out of nylon webbing material). When I got them back, I
was riding much higher than before (1"+). I don't know what the Moss or VB
replacements look like, but I too prefer the lower seating position. Keep
us posted on your fix.
