Seat frame question

I'm redoing my seat, and I stripped everything down to the frame. The springs on the end that I assume are bolsters that stand high are different on my frame. The drivers side is broken at one spot, but I don't know if something got modified by the upholsterer last time.

I cant seem to find a pic of what it's supposed to look like.

Also does anyone know what type of foam I need to rebuild a small area? I also thought about adding a thin layer all over restore some fullness to the cushion. Any advice appreciated.

Maybe this will help. See their description of the bench seat cushion? Might be some helpful info here. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/rebu...h-seat-part-1/

Thanks for the info.

How is the burlap reinforcement attached? To the frame? Mine is long gone.

No idea, since the burlap will not give (when the seat is sat upon) if attached tightly to the bottom of the seat.
