Thanks.
This looks hopeful.

How about the really earlier ones like '83, '84? The cloth covers apparently don't interchange - but does the foam fit - if I find a nice one??

Yes, I've seen the two colors also.

BTW,
I did a serious rebuild on the driver's seat in my '89 daily driver.
I put a hardware cloth mesh (like coarse-grain screening material) across the back frame to support the foam and keep it from self-destructing from pressure against the frame rails. I did swap in nice foam with only minor cracks that I glued with 3M Super 77 and reinforced thoroughly with denim jeans material. Feels better than new. A lot of work, though. You probably could do it quicker and easier with cloth or webbing across the frame, I saw a pic once. Not doing all that for this "new" '90 244.

Thanks again!
