Thanks John, never seen the inside of the +2S130 seats with adjust able back rest. So good to finally see ahead of me having to tackle the job...

I used these guys

Ordered the apptoximate sizes that I needed and then cut to exact size with a sharp carving knife, where build up is needed layers of foam can be stuck together and then trimmed. Tidying up and rounding off can be done with an angle grinder and sanding disc - best to do this outside as it is messy!
I also added a layer of Dacron fibre to give additional padding and protection to the foam - this is readily available from:

Hi All,
Thanks for the range of helpful replies.
Just for clarity, the seat in my original photo is from my +2S 130/5 , made Aug 1973.
