Seat restoration
I have begain the job of rebuilding my seat on my 1966 ca77. I have taken the seat completely apart. I will have pan, sandblasted and repainted. I carefully removed the old cushion on the back  side and the top cushion piece. I wont use it again (bad shape) but kept for dimension purposed.My question is what would be a great cushion material to replace with? what about memory foam. I would appreciate all comments. thank you.( p.s. I have already purchased a very high quality seat cover with Honda logo  embossed on back).thanks again.

CA77 Seat
Memory foam tends to get WARM..............try something very FIRM.

You should take a look at www.sunmatecushions.com   They have a number of densities of foam in various thicknesses.  They also have a link to a guy that makes custom seats who has a lot of experience using their products.  They will send you samples for free.
You would have to cut you own foam but, I think you could make an extremely comfortable seat with their foam and information.
Best wishes on your project.
