recovering jump seat

[emac]

I am redoing my jump seats. They are the shorter ones. My foam seens pretty good. I need all hardware, straps, and seat covers. Does anyone have an opinion on where to get them from? Cruiser corps, SOR, CCOT?

Cruiser Corps (Josh) has been very helpful with sheetmetal advice and really took extra time explaining some restoration tips to me. So, I am leaning towards them unless someone has some quality concerns or advice. Thanks.

If cruiser corps has helped you and worked well I would keep using them. I'm redoing my jump seats with cruiser corps covers. This reminds me I need to get them done.

Sor has great products and hard to find stuff but they have laughably bad shipping and handling costs that keeps many from ordering from them.

I myself need to order the jump seat strap as well, I will probably use ccorps when ever I need enough things to make and order

I agree, use Cruiser Corps

I went with SOR for new foam and covers. Not much to it, really & turned out great! PC front and rear seat frames, and they look great.

Cost seems reasonable for rear stuff in contrast to the front lower foam from SOR... Arm, leg and additional appendage.

Were you able to find seat foam for the rear jumper seats???? If so, where?

I didn't need foam, but SOR has it. Other places may carry it as well.

I was able to find foam at a fabric store and cut to shape for about 1/5 the cost of sor not including the shipping. I think the back jump seats are simple enough to trace and cut out. The front seats sor is the only option.
Mine had two 1inch thick pieces of foam for the rear part so I did the same.

I don't know if this shape is the stock one or not but it's what my jump seat had in it before I pulled the cover and it looked good once I got it on. Then there was another 1 inch thick piece that went on top of this that was the shape of the whole area.

I'm hoping to finish up tonight after the work Christmas party...

Great thread......and nice work guys!!!

I went to a local fabric store and bought 1.5 inch foam and made my own pad for the rear. I used spector's front seat foam for the driver side, the have two different types for the front, foam padding is kinda expensive no matter where you get it. I used spector's seat covers front and rear top quality good directions fairly easy to install

1000x cruiser corps. But get the nylon straps. The reproduction cotton ones tore instantly. A waste of money. And i mean instantly. First time i fastened it. Oh well

I bought their black nylon straps, I'm not happy with them. They tend to fray, metal end on one fell off and they fade bad. I'm on here looking for other options. Anybody know what material Toyota used? Is it canvas? Anyone tried leather?

I bought the cruiser corps covers and straps. Covers fit well. I wish they had a wire outer bead but, they turned out nice.

I was also dissapointed in the straps. Very thin. I was expecting nice thick old school military type straps. I am going to keep looking for something better.

i used CC front seat covers, and am very pleased with them.

you have to string them with your own wire. according to add, they have the provisions for the wire.

Missed that part! Thanks. I wonder what would work well in them, safety wire?

 

[kruisinkid]

Plastic "wire" is probably best. Or a sprung wire so it doesnt deform
