Seat covers

#1 PostAuthor: 1975-S1C » Sat Mar 03, 2018 5:01 pm

Whilst the weather is still a bit tatty I figured I’ll have a go at replacing my seat cover which is looking decidedly second hand !

Some advice would be welcome from those that have done this before. Where can you get a good quality replica cover from ? I know there are people selling them on eBay, any good ? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Thanks, i’ll Have a look at those. Always good to get a recommendation from someone.

Perhaps naively ? I am making the assumption that this is not that difficult to do !
Cheers

make sure you warm the cover over a radiator before fitting

Fitted a few meself,not as easy as you think!some ok tutorials on you tube,do it it in a very warm room,you should be able to bounce a fifty pence off the cover if you do it right...
