Related or coincidence?  Who knows...

Guys,
I'm going to rebuild my drivers seat on my MK1A Tiger and need some =
advice.
The seat cover is fine although when I disassembled the seat I =
discovered
that the previous owner simply put the new cover over the old one. They
probably did this because the foam and everything else associated with =
the
seat was still sound. That was 36 years ago. First off is this commonly
done? People tell me the answer is yes. What do you guys think? The =
cover is
probably reusable and it matches the passenger seat which is fine and =
will
be left alone. It was probably done in the same manner. My next and main
question is where to by the new foam and attaching hardware that I might
need. I have seen the tutorial on Tigers United about rebuilding Tiger =
seats
and plan to follow those guidelines. I just need to know the best source =
for
materials. My project will begin with rebuilding  the lower seat frame,
welding etc. because it is broken in several places. Thank you in =
advance
for any and all guidance.-Brad
