I picked some up from the local fabric store and cut it to fit. I think it was 4" thick. It seems to work well.

I used green 2" and 1/2"HD foam glued together with 3M adhesive spray from the fabric store. You can shape it if desired with an electric carving knife- I didn't think it was needed. The seat is very comfortable to sit in but I am glad I don't have to ride back there. My passengers would recomend 3" or thicker.

The foam at he fabric store isn't usually designed to be sat on. If you talk to an upulstry shop they will show you the difference, and it make a good bit of difference in comfortability. You can get 4" feel from 2" of foam, but it's definitely pricier.....

I got mine from an upolstery shop. It was more "cushy" than the stuff it replaced. Ultimatly I went with the Colt vista rear seat and my passengers said it made a huge difference in the comfort.

If you really want try to get ahold of Melissa at the Bronco Hut. She seems to be the Queen of interior resto.
