Has anyone bought new seat base foams for a County/Defender in Australia recently. Apparently Exmoor Trim (UK) no longer deal direct.
John Craddock's (UK) online price is AU$62+postage for 2 foams, but they wont quote a freight cost online. Seat foam (http://www.johncraddock-trim.co.uk/front-outer-seat-base-foam-980-0.html)
What are freight charges like from the UK ?

Cheers, Murray

That price is about the same as I paid for them from Exmoor a couple of years ago. Postage came to about the same, and was the cheapest method Exmoor could find.

Have you queried Exmoor for an Australian reseller? I think they said they were trying to get one.

I found some people on Ebay (in australia) recently that were selling seat base foams. Don't have the link here. But it wasn't just a one of thing.

Yeah, I have made some inquiries. I'm waiting on replies from Exmoor and also Rovacraft and CLR4WD on Ebay.

I bought one off e-bay aus, cant seem to find the invoice though. Great product and easy to fit. Should have bought 2!
Good luck

Murray,

If it works out any cheaper (on postage or the foams themselves), I am interested in a couple.

Just have a look on ebay under "buy it now" in land rover defender. They are there for $130 each or two for $240. Hope this helps!

Cheers

Ive been looking at this option, but ive decided to get the seats fully retrimmed and have the foams beafed up similar to a racing seat, it will cost around 400 a seat but hopefully the end result is worth it.

No worries,
Will let you know if I end up getting them from OS.

Rovacraft said the last time they sold some they were $66 ea, but they are waiting to confirm the current price. It doesn't seem like they have any in stock.

40 bucks gets the foam from clarks, some good old F2 glue and an electric carving knife, get it close and the cover a bit tight all is good
