Has anyone made plywood bases and dense seat foam for missing seat springs for the middle and rear seats for a suburban? How did you attach the wood to the teat frames? Where did you get the foam Pics please.

Thanks.

I used T-nuts through the plywood. I believe you can see a hole in the first picture. The bottom pads, I probably just used regular screws through the perimeter tube. As for the foam, you'll need to find a local automotive upholstery supply.

Regular T-nuts.

The screw in style I used. As an extra measure to make sure they didn't spin or come out.

Mark Lyons I think the upholesty shops have bulk springs in burlap to repair springs in the "sweet spot" that are worn out. Maybe that corvette supplier in Florida Eckler saw em in their catalog good luck !!
