Default New seating from scratch

Hey everyone, I'm thinking of upgrading the fabric seating of my DG-101. I currently use about 10kg's of lead to reach the minimum weight of 74kg and was thinking of integrating lead into the seat. Is this something ever done before? What are your opinions on this? Regular fabric is used now, would an upgrade to leather be worth it?

74 is a rather high minimum, check if there is lead installed in the tail boom behind the rudder.
My DG200/17c has 2kg there, and still has 62kg minimum pilot.
