Any one know a source of SWB front seat pads?

[Haasman]

AKA (incorrectly) as "horse hair pads".

These are the SWB formed fiber pads that are between the seat springs and the seat cover material.

Although frequently now reupholsterers use crafted and formed foam, there is nothing better than the correct fiber seat pads.

Anyone know of any sources?

Thanks Harry. Will check 'em out.

The foam will never give the original feeling or look. Same thing with the flutes which are often incorrectly over stuffed with foam.

I agree. I've had seats done both ways and the original fiber pads are the way to go.

I got mine from cabri.de bottom and seat backs . They are very well made they actually want you to take your apart so that you can give them a couple of measurements on the stat backs the early ones are a bit less tapered.
They also sell brand new seat springs for around $100.00 less that Porsche .
