Jump on a newly recovered seat?  I think not.   :-)  Oh, you were not
speaking literally?

I spent about $900 US on foams, coverings and door panels last year.   My
b*tt thanks me every time I get in the car.

I would look closely at the foams & make sure they were ALL replaced.

BTW an alternative might be to aquire some racing bucket seats.   I recall
from past threads they are a bit cheaper.  There were some insurance and
(of course) originality concerns with that however.
