So,
The moment of seat re building has come in my 1965 FJ40LV project, which I am trying to keep as original as possible.
The original upholstery is there but its toast (it's the light orange/peach color, pics attached).
So I am at this dilemma:
Should I rebuild exactly as it was originally with springs and foam? Or is new foam technology very much improved to the point it is reasonable to use all foaminstead of the OEM spring system?
I am at a crossroad with this one: Springs are OEM but foam could be a much better solution this day an age.: it's more comfortable and it's not perceivable at a first glance.
Is there a rule of thumb to this? I am aware this is entirely up to what I want, etc... but I'd very much appreciate your input or any other possible solution any of you guys may have found.
Mud love,
Jeronimo
