Another point- There were only 734 Aerobats made in the USA, so finding a complete set of Aerobat seats ready to install would be almost impossible for a plane out of production for nearly 40 years. Even fewer French Reims Cessna's were built. Even if you had your original seat frames, the method of how they attached the coverings would almost require stripping it all off should you have the frames re-welded/repaired. When I had the custom seats made, I OMITTED the seat bottom removability feature, and instead had it fixed like any normal C150 seat. Hardly anyone uses seat pack parachutes unless you have a military warbird, so the removable back was required. Doing that save a bit on upholstery costs.
