TII molded seat cushions and possible reproductions

Im in the process of re upholstering some TII seats. I have noticed that the formed parts are semetrical from what I can tell. In short I'm looking at making a mold to reproduce the lower seat side supports and possibly the back support as well. Before I reinvent the wheel, I should ask has anyone seen these available for purchase or is it under the Mazda restoration parts program ? Would anyone be interested in this product?

The lower bolsters are not symmetrical. The outer lower seat bolster flares out toward the door a bit

its close, but annoyingly not enough!

i like to wrap tape around the outer bolster, it keeps the seat frame from slicing through it

So, I mixed and matched some bolsters when I redid my seats. Not catching that the outer side flares out probably explains why my legs feel a little close together now. I had accounted for what I thought was the only difference with near the back of the bolster with some additional foam.

Whoops.
