<DIV><FONT size=2>After all this time the webbing is unlikely to be
original, even though you might be sitting on the floor. I've
replaced that in my 73 roadster twice in 30 years, and the 75 V8 once in 25,
even though I've done more miles in the V8. Avoid the diaphragms, the
embedded wires that hook to the frame pull out all to easily according to
several accounts.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I've recovered the roadster seats twice (the first seat were
poor quality) and the V8 once, and kept the foams which are original to the
cars, and have all been in good nick. Replacement foams are far too dense
- tops of thighs pressed up against the steering wheel and head tilted to
one side in a GT. A number of people say they've had to cut a slice off
the bottom, or drill a series of holes through.</FONT></DIV>

weigh. The factory only allowed for 150lb per person ...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>I am finally addressing the driver's seat
in my "new to me" MGB GT. When I sit in the driver's seat the cushion
bottoms out so that I am being jabbed on both sides by the tubular
frame. Not conducive to long distance driving. The foam in the
seat must be original as it has turned brown in exposed areas and is way too
soft. </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
