Thread: Defender seat refoam + lumbar support

To protect the lumbar bag I cut a section of heavy vinyl to place between the sprung seat back and inflatable bag.




Lumbar bag secured in place, I placed the inflation tube on the consoll side as there is more room to exit there and space for the bulb.



Left some slack in the void and secured with a small cable tie.
When I glued the foams on ( useing spray on adhesive @ $11 a can) I dident cover as mutch surface as the bloke on the utube vid. I just recoated the same surfaces as the factory had.



This is the stuff I used, more than plenty for two seats. Sprayed on to the seat frame, sprayed on to the foam in corresponding spots and left till tacky ( about one stubby).
Warning, this stuff gripps right away when the two sprayed surfaces come into contact, so dont dither when placing the foam.

Each seat took an hour to do and that includes unbolting it from the cab. The original covers were in good nick and not replaced. Take some care when sliding over the new foam as there are spots where they may rip as the new backs are wider.
The bases are simple to redo after watching the utube clip.
Refoamed seat frame with old base foam to compaire with.



The finished seat with lumbar suport, the inflation tube needs to be cut back to size once back in the cab and co pilot consulted " most important".



The seats do have that new car feel and the lumbar suport works well , adding that little extra comfort.
Awsom value for less than $300 , 1 out of 5 for diffuclty.
