Getting bucket seat foam

parts place- $115 shipped
guy here wants $180 for pui brand

 

Its not about the vendor (although price might be) its about the supplier.

American Cushion Industries (ACI) is the foam you want. Ask the vendor who's "buns" they sell.

I've used cheap ones from OPG before & never again.

 

the guy said he doesn't know the company but he has been selling them for 3 years

 

I had the ACI ones put in a few weeks ago and they are very nice.

 

For my 70 buckets, I unfortunately bought the PUI and it does not fit. The seat piece was fine but the back did not fit at all (could not get the vinyl over it and it was shaped funny and I ended up reusing my old foam for the seat back. I would second the ACI brand

 

Does that sound like somone you really want to do business with? After 3 years, i'm pretty sure you know who your suppliers are and who they aren't.

Thats the answer you get when they don't sell the brand you are asking about, hoping you will order them anyway.

 

^ Sounds about right, unless he was in a pinch for time and didn't have access to his files.

I ordered my foams through Tamraz in 2009 with my PUI upholstery through them.
I forget who made the foams, but I had them professionally installed.
Trimming of the foam is often necessary.

IIRC I paid $100 each bucket

 

Legendary supplies ACI now

 

yeah i bought pui from my local guy says he installed them in a 1970 and looks great if i have problems i will take it back to him

 

I bought some from Legendary a few years back when I ordered new seat covers. I never used them because they were to dang fat. They had a saguaro cactus formed into the foam. Stay away from them.

 

Just perusing the new Year One catalog. Holy Cow are things getting expensive. I mean everything, including seat foam.
