Capital seating in Bristol does the seat foam bases(diaphragm they are called).As said above though any decent trimmers would be able to sort it for you.

Thanks.Lee.

Paddy,
there is a guy in the cortina club who is very good with seats - he worked for Ford's in Cork. I will see if I can get his no.

Did mine years ago, other than removing a few hog rings the process was very easy, I replaced full base foam and side bolsters on seat base and back. Recaro seats are a very simple construction
