I've been in touch with Jo regarding the seat covers. Does anyone have a pair of these in their buggy?
How comfortable are they, and roughly how thick is the foam on the base?

Looking at some of the photos of her covers, there are wrinkles in the side curvature on some of them, is it possible to pull the wrinkles out on tightening?

I'm just keeping my options open at the moment hence,asking if any seats were for sale 

I have these seats and must confess that I added more foam. Unfortunately that means that the covers do not fit as well but they are comfortable!

I tried adding some pics but for some reason it is not playing at the moment.
Will try again later.

Thanks Dave that would be good if you could

Here we go.
This is the stack of foam I started with. I think it is 2 inch thick from memory.




And cut to shape. If you look along the top edge of the seat you can see the grey foam that was already fitted. I think it is probably 1 inch thick.



And this is how the seats look.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Dave, that doesn't look too bad, is it more comfy for long distances with the thicker foam added?
My other concern was the creases on the sides where it curves, in your pics one seat has it and the other doesn't, us this down to pulli g the strings tighter to lose the wrinkles?

I suffer with mild OCD and it could drive me nuts. Mind you building a car with OCD can be hard going too, 

I think if I were to replace my seats I'd want to go for proper ones rather than buckets with slip on covers. Don't get me wrong I've had mine for 16 years now but they were only £80 for the pair in those days.

I really like the look of these.

Now that is what I wanted originally, Corbeau style seats, but I couldn't find anything at a sensible price, now those are nice, and period correct  , thanks Dave

They are definitely more comfy with the extra foam.
The covers are quite fixed and stay in shape when they are removed rather than being really floppy. When they are put back on the strings can only be pulled so tight and it is very difficult to completely get the wrinkles out.
