It looks like SACC is out of covers and foam for 1973 seats. A place called Mustang Market has the 73/74 (also late 72) covers, but no foam. They said the mold for the foam broke. I think these covers were (or are) made in Baja California, Mexico. I don't know where the foam was made. Does anyone know of another source for this stuff?

If Scott is not restocking, perhaps he can provide his source. It's often the case that all the vendors are obtaining parts from a single source; the broken mold may be the reason Scott is out of stock as well.
Thanks Julian. I checked with Scott and he still had some foam. Problem solved.
I called Scott and he said I got his last sets of foams. He does not plan to do another production run. Instead, he plans to sell his mold. A company in Las Vegas has been making the foams for him. Upon request they will do a single day run for Panteras and produce 30 or 40 sets. He said that quantity was sufficient for 1 or 2 years of orders. If this business opportunity is of interest to you then give Scott a call.
Sounds like an opportunity to put the Mustang Market guys in touch with Scott!
A couple of years ago I purchased the seat foam from Scott. I brought it to my upholsterer. He said it was real nice. Only problem was I was used to sitting on 50-year-old foam now my head was hitting the roof. You may want to test fit the seats before you put The Upholstrey on in case any alterations need to be made. Just my two cents!
This car has dropped floor pans but it can't hurt to test fit the seat with just the new foam in place. Thanks for the suggestion.
I’m in for a set of foam if it becomes available
I'm up for new foams and seat covers. My foam is slowly escaping out the vent holes on the seat pans. Kind of looks like my pillow in the morning....
