Foam seat bases - anyone interested?

[TSB GTE]

I’ve started repairing the seat foam of the front (and rear when I get around to it) seat cushions of one of my GTEs. I used an old electric kitchen knife to cut off the top of the cushions (and as described above they are latex foam or Dunlopillo to use the brand name), and the intention is to sculpt and glue new top sections to the original base. I’m going to use synthetic foam initially to see how that goes but it is also possible to source latex foam if needs be. I will try to load a couple of photos to demonstrate. Tom

Hello all, just a quick update the moulds for the seat base (Fulvia Coupe) are in production this week!

We are aiming for the first week of November to have a set fully finished and in my Fulvia which all going well should be at the NEC next month.
I have allowed for prototypes to get the 'comfort' as close to the lovely original ones.

Will keep you posted, thanks to all who showed an interest.

I missed this before, having spent quite a few hours in the Fulvia this weekend I'd definitely be interested in a pair when available!

I too missed the post (but read about it in Viva Lancia). Does anyone know if they are also the correct profile for HF seats?  Mine lack the pronounced bolster around the front, but have been previously reupholstered so may be non-standard.

Thanks for any advice.

The standard coup[e base is not the same as the HF.....

Hello all, ...I have good news!

If you showed an interest in potentially purchasing a new seat base I have just emailed you, however...

I am pleased to report, that after much prototyping, testing and sitting! a small limited run batch has now been produced and ready for shipping. I attach below the advert that will run in the next edition of Viva Lancia however I wanted to give you first refusal as you were kind enough to be one of the first to respond.

As you will see, the advert details some information and shows images 2 of which are of the production mould and the new seat base - in addition should you want to see (after possibly 45 years) a short film clip of a brand new Fulvia Coupe seat base being made please click on this link: https://youtu.be/JmPIA3dTlWM

I have kept the cost to a minimum which just covers my outlay in the prototyping, casting and mould production - making the cost of a seat base £64.80 excluding delivery. There are 2 options of UK delivery; insured @ £17.62 / un-insured @ £11.04. I can of course ship internationally however I will require your address to give you a cost.

If you would like to place an order please reply to the email I sent you and I can either send my PayPal details of if you prefer my bank details. Should the email not have come through, this is my email address: giuseppe.rampello@ntlworld.com

Thanks
