Mosley vs. LCH Leather Seat replacements

[jonheld]

Jon,

You deserve to brag! Nice job. What did you do about seat foam? I now have a July 1 deadline in front of me and need to get busy.....finishing steering knuckle today hopefully!

Thanks for photos.

I had replaced both bottom and back with OEM Lexus seat foam along with aftermarket heaters when I first recovered them with the LSeat leather. That was about 10 years ago.
I'm not certain about this, but it sure feels like the Katzkin installer added some supplementary foam when they installed them. I'm sitting higher than before, and the back bolsters feel firmer.
In short, they're very comfortable and I'm a pretty happy camper.

Just drove home from Paymer & Phillips in Millersville, MD. Katzkin delivered the leather kit Monday and Paymer offered an earlier install slot. I was prickly about seat heating and did not want the Katzkin kit as I wanted to use the factory wiring. They were cool about it so I did switches, the underseat pins and provided Rostra 250-1900 pads.

They wanted the car the night before to allow the plastics to warm up indoors and this is what I got this evening. The color was Lunar Gray and on the lighter side but at the time I ordered Lt Gray seemed too dark. Anyway, the color delivered was a perfect match to the sample of 18 months ago and I am delighted with the result. Seat heaters are fast and warm. I did replace the bottom foam and Paymer added some to the back.

I have never done this before, but its seems to me the covers as they come from Katzkin are pretty robust.

That is it for major projects on this 80 Series heading to Denver in July.
