Hey Magic Bus,

Yes, I watched all your videos on the seat build. I decided to get the original pads for the front seat because it is hard to get the same horse hair pad dimensions and firmness with foam. I thought it was worth the $500 to repad both front seats with the original pads especially if I am going to drive this car for another 10+ years.

FOr the rear seat, however, I am looking for what to do. There are NO new rear seat pads that are reasonably priced. There are a couple of used W123 pads that should fit. I will probably go with a used horse hair pad for the rear bench and figure out what to do with the rear back. I need to look closer at my rear seat back pad...it doesn't seem all that bad, but I really should take it apart and look at it closer. The rear bench pad is non existent anymore...

I understand that cost was a major driver in your rebuild. If you had a $200 more to spend, how would you do things different? Would you have a multilayer foam pad for the rear seat vs. using memory foam only? If so, do you have any suggestions on the density of foam used for the multilayer pad stack?
