Good link, thanks. I didn't replace the foam in my 69 and should have. I had to put a bit of extra foam in the rear to keep it from sagging. Did they sell you just the foam? Which one did you get? I guess I'll have to contact to see if they will do the 69-70 foam for the seat, I got the cover from Walridge and it's pretty good.

Dave, they sold me just the foam for my '70 'S' and for the '68 fastback. They will do the whole seat for you if you send the pan or just supply the foam forms or the seat covers. I was really impressed with the service. Family owned business. You can email Andrew at <info@rk-leighton.co.uk>

The foam at the front of my seat is sound, as original, and it makes a crummy seat - too hard/thin - always was.
Admittedly, it's OK when I move back a bit but where I lilke to ride, forward, it is the worst.

The original seat foam on my Combat was hard as rock from Day 1. 40 years later the new foam makes a world of difference. Did mine myself with a lot of reinforcing work on the fiberglass base but foam and cover came from RK Leighton via Walridge. Excellent quality!
Found a not too bad match for the rubber seat buffers from McMaster-Carr. P/N 9310K124 for $8.66 per pkg of 25. I glued them in with clear RTV but do that with the stock ones too. Just can't bring myself to pay $3-7 each for these!
