    Brother Bob recommends 3M Contact adhesive in a spray can from Bunnings, or something similar.

    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    Anyone know which would be the most economic option:

    1. Purchase foams and covers from exmoor / britpart /wherever and have them fitted locally.
    2. Have new foams and covers made up locally as part of the one job.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I think purchasing a kit would be cheaper.
    I recently priced up a seat retrim for an old Hillman I have here and it was over $1000 for two front seats and a repair to the rear seat.

    I know what I would have said ten years ago, but trimmers seem to be thin on the ground these days. But nothing's as easy as it looks on YT. I'd have a go though. Not as if it's a Rolls Royce.

    The foam used to be available when I did mine, but that was years ago.
