Decided to referb my old Def seats for the 2a and stumbled across a referb kit on ebay ordered it and gave it a try today whilst the 2a's new paint was hardening off in the rain outside and the outcome was great so i've ordered another one for the other side :D

Fitted the seats and cubby box plinth using an up side down centre tray, obviously once the tray is painted ( limestone ) i can fit the cubby box to it.
