I got my drivers seat re-foamed by an auto trimmer today. The base and also extra padding in the back.
I still have to bolt it back in yet.
Hopefully no more side bar sticking into my leg.

Cost = $150

Bowtae installed.
For some reason, despite being perfectly square, it's still dipping.
Are the rear frame arms of the FTO on a slope or something? :scratch:
Will just get the tongue bent to shape as the welding and extra brace were spot on.
