Default 47 Front seat

My 47 coupe seat bottom is trash. Anyone know if they can be rebuilt or do I just have to buy a new one. I really can't see 6/7 hundred dollars for a new one.

Hummm. That's interesting. I may have to give that a try. Much better that 600 bucks for a new one. Thank you.

Kelly, I rebuilt my front seat as part of my reupholstering project. My springs weren't broken, but some of the "straps" were. I brazed them and things turned out pretty good!!
