Default Re: 29 Roadster seat question (Upholstery)

Are you going to install the seat covers correctly -or are you going to use 'hog rings'?

The first step is to ensure the springs fit the seat riser correctly. There needs to be no more than approximately ¼" between the bottom perimeter of the spring and the inside edge of the seat riser before the cover is installed. If there is, you will need to modify the bottom of the seat spring. Failure to do this will cause the spring to slide within the riser when you are entering/exiting the vehicle, and can slide when negotiating a sharp turn while driving. It also makes the side of the seat cover look funny as it won't be vertical as correctly shown in the pictures below of Doug's Roadster.

Also, be sure to correctly install the wire correctly in the seat cushion.
