I got the front seat put back together, and it's certainly more comfortable. I used "semi-firm" foam. You can see how I had re-hog-ring the horsehair section. I used some Elmer's Glue-all before setting the foam on the lining above the horsehair which you can see had the old foam glued to it, though I doubt it did much.

I think the 2-inch-thick foam is too thick. As you can see, it looks not quite right, and was difficult to install into the car (the rear of the seat was hard to jam in place). Maybe 1 inch, firm, would have been better, though I doubt anyone will really notice.

I forgot to take a picture, but I repaired the burlap area before reattaching the foam. I actually took the synthetic cloth wrapping for the foam, folded thrice, and hog-ringed it to the seat springs around its perimeter. And instead of Kev's welding rod, I used some extra of the Bowden cable inner wire that I used previously for the one section that for some reason needed it, though welding rod is likely superior. I just didn't have any.
