got my seat cover today from the guy in canada. I am in the process of putting it on., I got my old cover off, some splits in the foam but nothing major, it all pushes back together nicely,. I ended up grinding out the broken bolts for the strap mount and installed a couple of new bolts, i just put the bolts in from the outside and then i will double nut them on the inside., I am afraid to weld them in like the originals, maybe the foam will burst into flames, and i dont want that!

Loudmouse, you will be proud!, i finished my seat today and didnt ask any more quetions! i just did it. It is not perfect by any means, my chrome strip was a little bent up, but i think it looks pretty darn good for my first seat recover. I will post pics later.
