[Roadsters] TX Roadster weather.

Thanks to you all for your suggestions. I've use the bread knife trick before. It works great. The old foam is so far gone that I can't tell which width of foam to buy as a base.  I guess I could start out with a 2" thick piece, cut it to shape of the seat, then contour it to fit the new slip cover.   

I already replaced foam in the buckets using good stuff from a local foam shop. The original bucket foam had large 1" cylinder holes evenly spaced in them that were filled with what looked like stacks of round cotton cylinders. The cylinder resembled looked like stacks of gun cleaning swabs. This must have been used to stiffen the seat. It worked too well.

Get a electric carving knife and a few blocks of foam and carve to the approx shape of the old stuff before it crumbled. The seat covers hide sny little divits nicely. Tighten up the bottom straps with either new holes or new straps. I used a hole punch for new holes.

The back rest foam is so far gone that I've no idea of the thickness or density required to begin cutting a replacement.  Anyone else have a tech tip?
