[alfa] Re: Spider seat foam

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi David:

The Veloce/Quad seats are very different from the Grad seats, in almost all 
respects.  The former have large side bolsters on the bottoms and backs, 
and narrow center sections, along with a leg/thigh bolster that extends 
several inches beyond the main section of the seat bottom.  I'm not sure 
how different the underlying structures are, as I've never had my Veloce 
seats apart, but the foam is clearly too different to be 
interchangeable.  Of course, same goes for the upholstery.

Whichever seats you've got, try the overseas vendors, such as Highwood, 
Hurtienne, SpiderPoint, etc., or Re-Originals here in the US.  There was a 
thread on the AlfaBB, maybe a month or so ago, that had pictures of 
Veloce/Quad seat upholstery from SpiderPoint.  Both the appearance and 
price were impressive, and worth checking out.

Regards,

Dean
