Something else to consider when repairing the bolster. What I did was buy used passenger seat from the local pick-and-pull. It was far from pretty but the bolsters on the right side of the seat were in good shape. I took the foam out of the passenger seat and used it to rebuild my drivers seat. No duct tape required, but there was more labor. I try to avoid duct tape if i can, and large hammers.
well the duct tape is there to keep the metal bar from cutting thru the foam again.

Yeah. The duct tape is a good idea. My reason for replacing the foam was to start with a good piece again. I'll add the duct tape to the good piece also. The combination of the two should work well for many years.

i should have mentioned that, the leather is not cheap. and it came from new jersey anyways, it would be better just to have it fixed locally instead of buying a factory seat cover
