I wouldn’t put much money or effort into the B72. I have 2 and one is ripping at the nose, and the other isn’t far behind. Both are low miles with one being in at least 90% condition. I’ve read many sad tales of the tears at the nose. Besides that problem, they are great seats. I have entertained the thought of checking on cost to recover these from our resident forum member who does this job. Thicker leather would probably be used in my estimation. I would think however that it would be cost prohibitive.
