I decided to finally fix the rear seat back on my 167. A tree fell on the boat back in the mid 90's, when the only place I had to park it was on a busy street in front of my house. #1 reason I moved out of the city. Originally I was just going to straighten out the trim peice that edges the seat back but after looking at it closer, decided the plywood should be replaced too. This weekend I cut a new peice of wood and carefully removed about 800 staples and discovered they had attached foam to one side. May have been 1/8" think at one time. Now about .080 thick.
I guess to make it more comfortable to put your spine against but since I removed the legs from the lower portion of the seat, it is used just to hide my battery and gas cans.
So Doug or anyone else...do you think there is anything "special" about this foam or can I just go to a craft store and get some? Maybe I need to go to an uphostery supply shop? Also what are the chances of getting new vinyl in 1967 Jade green? I am trying to salvage the original stuff but it has a small tear in it, but I will use it as opposed to having a green that doesnt match the rest.
Thanks
