Split Bench seat foam assembly.

So I cannot find that super thick "felt" padding to ensure the barrier between wire and foam.
I have 2 ideas..bare with me:

1. "Felt" moving blanket, folder over 4-5x makes approximately the same thickness as original.

2. Just spitballing here....formed split pipe insulation...5/8 or 3/4 ish. I am just afraid it won't conform to the shape.

Thoughts?

What about the factory burlap?

After the burlap comes the edge protection...thats where I'm at.
Foam and seat cover to follow.

I found some at a local craft store, or anyplace your grandmother gets her sewing supplies.

Doesn't it come with a universal foam kit?

Or cut up a good old Mexican saddle blanket. I used a cloth yoga mat cover and cut that up. Old saddle blanket is thicker.

Those are hard to get, at least the old school full coverage non garbage type.

Sadly grandmother has been gone for over 30 years! And I live 1900 miles from where I grew up!

I was able to source foam locally. But they looked at me like I had 10 heads when I showed them the small piece I had.
The people in my local place said " we haven't seen felt that thick in 20 years"

Mexican blanket idea isn't bad...unfortunatley now a days they are all rayon!

I've had a couple of universal foam kits for seats that I have recovered, but I only have about 2 1/2 ft left, or I would help you out. The kit is offered by Legendary, I believe, but it's been awhile.

I recently ordered a set of those kits, eventually got the rear but the front is still on backorder.
