Working on my front seats now so here is a drawing for anyone else who wants to do it - pretty basic stuff.
Measurements taken from original horse hair inserts from the back and seat cushions removed from the vinyl (Thickness increased slightly to account for compression over the last 40+ years)
Note: all measurements in cm and are for the foam only - the vinyl will need to be cut and sewn differently (rear seat drawing worked for foam and vinyl)

Re: Front Seat Cushion Drawing
I will have to adjust this drawing slightly as I have just confirmed that the original front seats (Pathfinder at least) came from the factory with a thin foam pad that was installed on top of the horse hair!
I will be adjusting the drawing so it adds ~1cm in thickness.
Here is a photo I found that confirms the exact same foam as I have in my front seats - will post one of mine in a day or so. You can also see the rare green seat vinyl

Re: Front Seat Cushion Drawing
Its funny that the Pathfinder for sale at EI has no foam on top of the hair. (Green vinyl, too.)
It must have totally disintegrated, as foam does..
1 cm will add to the comfort, for sure.

Re: Front Seat Cushion Drawing
I thought that too but that is how I knew it must be original 4+ hafi's I have found with same foam.
If you look at the one Scott is selling the front seat pad is upside down and backwards so the foam is below the horse hair in that pic (below)
Nice catch on the green vinyl
