Very easy to make ..I don't think so... try bending wire and playing with hog rings for a few hours .
Compared to restoring the rest of a blitz it would be a walk in the park.

I grew up with them as well and I am still driving them. My mothers everyday car is an FE my grandfather bought new. It have never been restored and never been off the road and the seats are still great.
My brother has an FJ that was mine for a while that has been restored with re-sprung seats and they are more comfortable than a modern car.
I find new car seats too hard. They only get away with it because the suspension is so mush better these days.
My first car was an FE and being young and stupid I modified the hell out of it. I owned it for about 16 years. It had lowered suspension, low profile tyres and bucket seats in it. Great for racing but long trips were painful.
There is also an FC in the family too, I could post some photo's but you don't sound like a fan of old Holdens.

Just my 2 dollars
Cheers
Jeff
