[TR] TR4A seats

[Keith Stewart]

Others have already suggested checking the diaphragm but back to the foam,
do you know that original type foam kit was used or was it a do-it-yourself
cobbling together of some pieces of foam (even if done by an upholstery
shop). If an original foam type kit was used, there is usually a seat pad of
foam plus a "U" shaped piece of foam that needs to be glued on top of the
seat pad. That is where the lateral support comes from.

Finally driving my recently restored TR4A.  Haven't driven a Triumph in 30
years, but don't remember the seats being so uncomfortable.  Maybe my age?
Seats were rebuilt with new foam and covers.  The covers do seem a little
loose to me, like there is room for more foam.  I use a lumbar pillow, which
helps some, but a 20 mi. drive feels more like 200.  Any suggestions as to
what can be done to improve the comfort of the original seats?  Would prefer
to stay with them.
