Good luck with the repair Stewart, while you are at it, you might want to consider also reinforcing your lacing by criss crossing underneath the diaphragm with heavy fishing line (at least 200lb bs) as a belt and braces job? Might last a bit longer spreading the load a bit. As an alternative to fishing line, you might want to try nylon strimmer line, that's what I used and it worked very well. Top suggestions I was wondering what to use to lace up - I was going to use a couple of bootlaces I will also pop into my upholstery foam suppliers on the way to work tomorrow and get another piece of foam to go inside as the seat could do with a bit of extra plumping The chap who had the Mog before me was on the large side and the foams do compress and detierate

I have experienced the same sort of split on My 2000 seats. I bought a new diaphram from a Morgan Dealer. Apparently this is a common failure.

Stewart, paracord would be good for lacing up the seat. Somewhere like B&Q sell various ropes/cord/chain/wire.

Well finished the seat tonight I forced another 25mm thick firm foam bolster into the seat and laced it up  Didn't go quite to plan as a couple of the eyelets ripped out of the rubber so it's not the neatest job but certainly done the trick Finished off with some fly fishing line lashed under just in case  All nicely firm and plump
