    A search on this site should find a tutorial - I posted one years ago, possibly in the (now defunct) AULRO magazine.

    defender seat foam replacement

    There's a member on here that did a number of youtube videos of his vehicle prep for a big lap - one of them was base foam replacement. Stuffed if I can recall his name but it was a decent video.
    I did a base on the county recently. Easy job after a few minutes on YouTube.
    Allow some time to clean/paint the frame if it's rusty.

    Mine came from Landybitz. A few dollars dearer than ex UK but I was heading away on a trip and didn't want to risk a shipping delay. Britpart but seem to be OK so far.
