Looking for 240 LHF seat or seat base

STVC15

Looking for LHF seat from 240 to suit 1992 car. Preferably tab fabric. Heated or unheated. Just needs to be nice and comfy because mine isn't.

Thanks

You can make it comfortable again

It just needs new foam

ramrod …yes, but from where? I was thinking a nice low milage LHS base swapped into my RHS would do the trick. The only place I have seen is Wagonmeister in LA, though they do make a new stronger grid that's an attractive thought.

Skandix sell foams and grids

ramrod

Yes, buy from wagonmeister.

Whilst you’re there save some shipping fees and do the right side seat too

ramrod Right now, urethane is not in my budget, just spun the diff input seal. But I can afford the grids and they're a pretty non-invasive fit - good bang for buck, I feel.

Why not go to a local automotive upholstery trimming company.

Save shipping costs. Get exactly what you want.

If in Melbourne ask Mark at Berry's who they use.

You'll spend significantly more getting it done locally in my experience. "Add a zero" more. Happy to be proven wrong, I want retrim my 240s seats.

Just go to Melbourne upholstery add 2 zeros get a shit job. I got shafted with my xc90v8 seats

Be warned

Sometimes,

if you can supply your own parts and just pay the labour, you’re potentially limiting the amount you can be ripped.

My idea, order the urethane seat foam from wagonmeister, take it and the seat to your trimmer.

At least, they won’t be able to say we spent three hours shaping the foam and you owe us $1000.

Quick tip: buy a pair so you can do both seats, save on shipping from USA.

ramrod Thanks for that, speaking of shipping, I have an address in LA through Planet Express, they have been very useful for car parts and for consolidating packages. Usually much cheaper than direct freight from the supplier and no slower BUT be aware that their UK operation can be quite expensive if you're buying from GSF or something like that.
