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 . -----Original Message----- From: Gary First <gary.first@xxxxxxxxx> To: tcb <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sun, Jul 17, 2011 9:35 am Subject: [tcb] Re: front seat redo 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. --- On Sun, 7/17/11, abe schlichting <gogretago@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: abe schlichting <gogretago@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: front seat redo To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Sunday, July 17, 2011, 2:47 AM 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.

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. --- On Sat, 7/16/11, abe schlichting <gogretago@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: abe schlichting <gogretago@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] front seat redo To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, July 16, 2011, 4:15 PM does anyone know of any instructional videos available online that might show me some pointers on recovering my front seats? i already have the covers, and repaired/repainted the frames...thanks
