Abe     also know that you can undercut the foam , so the foam will roll over 
the top & be smooth on the sides  . Dacron ( comforter filling ) can go over 
the outside of everything . It will compress to make everything smooth without 
adding much height . almost no added size .   my .02           terry

Abe you cut the foam about 1 inch big and glue to burlap. The burlap goes on 
the springs and then you pull the covers down over tight, extra hands are good. 
Keep pulling and stretching untill the cover is fitting/looking right and hook 
the tabs, tie the cords. You are done sir.

yes, it's a walk thru, and i have TMI covers, was planning on using foam rather 
than the "horsehair"pads, but i've never seen how people attach and trim the 
foam. i really wanted to just maybe watch someone go through the process, never 
having done it before.

Abe:  What type of seats?  Are we talking about your SO-42 and is it a walk 
through?  Do you have the TMI covers?  Did you get your materials from WW?  I 
have recently done two sets of walk throughs for the 65-67 type walk through 
and can answer questions.  Also have several pictures of seats in my gallery on 
theSamba.com.  Look under the gallery for bugcollections as the poster/author.
