I am getting ready to spoil myself this winter and buy a complete interior kit for my BN4. Will be Blue/White Leather. I literally have nothing at this moment except for the steel seat pieces. I've read everything I can on the process and watched quite a few videos as well including Mathew Randell's.
Are there any seat foams that are suitable in their stock configuration without drilling holes in them? My Healey was in pieces, boxes, and jars when I got it so I really don't know what a healey seat is "supposed" to feel like. My preference would be buy the best seat foam I can and not have to immediately start modifying. I have the skills but not the confidence that I will get it right.
Also, I've read lots of opinions on the various interior kits for sale. I've ruled out AH-Spares since their leather prices have recently skyrocketed (30-50%) and they won't tell me why. I talked to a fellow I trust at Conclave who told me horror stories about recently trying to install Moss leather seat kit for the early BN4. I'm probably ruling them out as well. Skinner seems much more expensive than the others. I'm down to Ahead4Healeys and Buckingham at this point unless somebody can give me new info. I plan to do the install and upholstery myself. I'm stubborn that way.
Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.
