R 4 front seat repair.

[johnjolly]

Ive had a quick search but can't see anything about repairs to seating, so does anyone know how to replace or repair the spring thing under the upholstery of a late R4?
One side of the large Spring pad has collapsed and cable ties and my wire weaving skills are not enough to solve the sagging. Are replacement(modern) pads available or anyone have a decent secondhand replacement.
It's actually spoiling a really good little motor.
Thanks all JJ

The springs can be pulled together with tyewraps it gives you some time to look for a decent seat with good springs. Or an old school fix. Use hessian strips woven together over the original springs. That gives a good tight spring base.

Thanks that would be a possible DIY solution that I could tackle.
