Looking for M20F front seat back replacement or repair

[Born2Fly]

 

1967 M20F

Front seat back has been broken. Lesson learned - brief passengers not to lean on the back of the seat when entering/existing the airplane... 

I am looking for possible repair (Southern California) or replacement. 

Few questions:

1. Are all seats replaceable? Within which models/years? 

2. Thinking to replace the tubes for the headrest to make the pair of the headrest from RAV4 fit. Distance between the tubes is Ok, the tubes in my seats are too narrow. 

3. What glue is used to put the foam back? 

Thank you,

Andrey

Get an A&P to do the repair using patches.

Go to any salvage yard and get an F seat back    Quickest easiest and probably lowest cost option

Probably dozens available.

Any upholstery supply shop has "foam and fabric" spray glue. 

Had to go back and reread your post to edit.

Replacing the tubes with something else "may" present problems as they are not  then "approved " parts.

And since the head rest is an integral part of the lever arm of the seat back from top of head rest to hinge line 

in the advent of a crash- it "might" be an issue with your next annual IA to question if it was changed and by what approval.
