: Standard/Comfort Weave Conversion

I did a search and didn't find exactly what I needed. My plan is to convert my front and rear seats to comfort weave.

If I'm reading this correctly, if I buy new deluxe seat foam for the fronts, I can install the comfort weave covers to convert my standard buckets.

It's the back seat I'm not sure of. Can I just recover the standard rear seats with the comfort weave without changing foam? I haven't seen any manufacturers offering new foam for the rear seats.

Thanks for all replies!

I just got finished with a conversion from standard to comfortweave in my 69'. The rear seat does not have foam. It has burlap or horse hair or something similar in it, I can't think of the exact name right now. A good upholstery guy may offer to refurbish that and the springs, if needed. Mine came out real nice with just the new upholstery. Also, I know a lot of the guys here recommend buying your front foams and covers from the same supplier to avoid fit problems. Thats what I did and everything came out pretty nice.
