I used Snake Oly a few years ago to rebuild mine. They were a bit expensive but came out great. I remember reading an article some where about using rear seat belts out of a late model Camaro or Firebird in the C3's
Its getting late so I will see if I can find it tomorrow evening.

Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.
I purchased new foam and covers from a vendor and had a local upholstery shop install them for me. They had the expertise and the tools. The price for labor was 70.00 total for both seats.



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

OOP's ignor my previous postEmbarrassed, I thought it said Seat Belt, thats what happens when I stay up to late. I did my own seats, it wasn't to hard. Just make sure if you do it yourself to use new foam and trim off the ridge left by the mold seam. Check your seat frame for cracks too.
