Try Bultaco parts, they make a yz125c seat foam so they may make the YZ465H foam

Hoony I just checked the AMS RACING web site in the STATES, they list 79 to 81 YZ250-465 seat foams, I just brought a YAMAHA MX360 SEAT FOAM from them a few weeks ago, it is perfect, there web site has no provision to make direct payment to them, so I just phoned them direct in the morning, they took my credit card details and I emailed them with my shipping address, the seat foam arrived about week and half later with the credit card receipt
The seat foam cost $65 USD plus $43 USD to ship to Sydney, I would recommend them, they are easy to deal with. :)

Hoony,
Do you have the old set foam still?
If so Mario from TopLine Upholstery in Frankston can build you a seat (with cover) from lounge chair softness to one harder than a modern motocrosser. He can then replicate a seat cover that you would think was OEM with the graphics.
He has done my 3 RM's my KX500 and did a special fro my Berg 550 and they are all perfect.

Is that an 84 KX seat, Rod?
I'm interested.........................

Tony,
Already done the 83 and it looks fantastic. In a couple of weeks i'll be getting the 84 done. This will be a bit tricky as he does not have an original cover to work with so we will use brochure/manuals to replicate. No $ difference, just a more accurate representation if you use an original cover.

Rod.
