MG MGA - Armrest

Is it possible to obtain the foam inside of the armrest from any of the usual suppliers.

Anyone know?

I know Victoria British offers the kit in both leather and vinyl. Both kits are a bit high in cost. They seem to include the foam and your choice of color for the cover.

Honestly...seems best to get a good stiff foam section and cut it to size, assuming your cover is nice enough for you.

Get the foam at any upholsterer or Hobby Lobby type business. Foam is available in many different densities and types. Best tool to cut it is an electric knife. The foam did come with the last kit I got from Moss. It was shaped OK but real light.

Scarborough Faire, Inc. sells the foam for about $12.00?$15.00.. Mike

Ole:

The foam is a pretty basic shape. If you contact me directly off line, I will try to get the measurements from the Moss upholstery shop so you can have it cut locally.

Hi Kelvin,

Is that offer open to others interested as well? I have a good shop here in Japan that would be happy to cut one for me.

Thanks,

Take your arm reat to any upholstery shop and they can restuff it for you. I had one made from and old beat up armrest for 65.00. I also went with a much more dense foam because I use the armrest to help lift myself in and out of the car.
