I think I contacted these guys a while ago and they said they didn't stock foam for my seats, but I could be wrong, ill try them again. Does anyone else know of any other places?

Hey Topcat
thanks for your help, unfortunately im also after the outer back rest foam.
Hey Nas,
Yeah I wish I could just take it to trimmers, but unfortunately in Tasmania I don't trust anyone to not totally wreck them and make them look like balloons.
I guess maybe ill get the bolsters from capital and pray a trimmer doesn't do too crap a job on the rest of them haha

The way to know if your trimmer is good is to go look at some of the previous work. My seats are a couple of years old since the retrim and not a single stich loose or saggy feeling yet.
