[Healeys] Seat pans

[David Schweninger]

Bruce,
I bought re-pro seat pans from David Homonek (on Ebay) which seem to  
fit the seat frames pretty well.

   There is an on going problem with the molded seat foam parts.  
Apparently Moss has the same problem
  I bought a complete Heritage Interior. The seat foams are not molded  
correctly. If you fit the foam into the seat pan so it fits correctly  
across the front, there is about a 1 1/2 gap at the back. If you pull  
the cover down over and under the seat pan you'll have about a 1 to 2  
" gap.
  Heritage is well aware of the problem. I guess new tooling for the  
seat foam is too expensive.
So their recommendation is to stuff whatever you have handy into the  
space until the gap is filled.
    I glued a piece of  foam across the back of the seat foam and then  
slowly trimmed the sides until the cover fit properly.
  The next problem was that the pleats and the bolster w/piping was  
not sewn together far enough back. Allowing the the foam to show.  
Sewing this by hand is a real bitch. Check this out before you glue  
the cover pleats down
  Also the  Heritage instructions say to use "supplemental" foam on  
the bolster. When I pointed out that it was not furnished in my kit. I  
was told "we don't use that any more".
This means the pleats are as high or higher than the Bolster.  I added  
a 1/2 thick piece on top of the bolster.
I've attached some pictures which may help.
Good luck,
Dave and Daisy ( Who has nice round Bolsters)
