[Healeys] Front leather seat installation

[Richard Collins]

That is what the English videos indicate. I have some 1/4" foam to use and also some other filler. Not sure Moss has any tech videos to help with this; I have seen a few pro jobs done with these seats and they came out awesome but it seems a DIY could do as well.
I am trying to get the nerve to try it.
I have done a few trial fits and bought a new bag of clips but gluing is making me nervous as it is generally non reversible

Regards,
Richard C

I am redoing the seats on my BN7 with a Moss kit. The old original bottom pleats were full as Steve notes below but the new kits are not.
Neither are leather.

It has been a long time, but as I recall the pleats in the seat bottom were pre-sewn and filled out when I installed the cover, but have flattened out over the last 18 years of carrying my butt around.  I may be wrong.  The pleats in the rear seat pans are still full.
