Default Drivers Seat Cushion

Can u just buy the drivers seat cushion? It has foam that is molded onto a very thin formed sheet metal bottom. It is cracked all up and welding it isn't an option. I would like a new one. Any suggestions?

Sorry I failed to mention that it has a front to back sliding feature as well as a feature that allows u to adjust the angle of seat bottom by sliding seat back to front in a curved bracket.

You can swap a pass side seat pan to the drivers side.. probably a cheaper option.

Got mine for $14. Easy to swap upholstery. Even salad could do it.

Ive taken seat out and removed upholstery and cleaned seat tracks and such. This vehicle has had seat covers for a while and is very clean. My son is very excited and wants to have her ready to go. He turns 16 on the 26th and wants it to be sweet for his return to school after the holidays.
