I got an upholstery kit with the 29 phaeton I purchased three years ago. It did not have instructions with it. I emailed LeBarron Bonney, but got not response in 2 weeks. I just called them this morning and the woman I talked to said they don't send instructions out in no uncertain terms. So, no help for LB. Previously when I dealt with LB they were quite helpful, now, not so much. Anyway, if anyone has a set of 28/29 phaeton upholstery instructions, especially the seat cushions, would you contact me via PM or email. The seat cushions are the same for a 28/29 roadster, so If someone has roadster upholstery instructions, that would help. I would gladly pay the postage if anyone has a set of legible instruction they could copy and send me. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Maybe your request should have been an offer to purchase the instructions, don't know but might have worked.

I picked up a set of 80's LB roadster instructions about a month ago, will scan and send you what I have, either tonight or in the AM.

Don,
I'm not sure where the upholstery kit came from. It is in 3 large unmarked boxes. I did check their website and found no instructions for a phaeton. Have you upholstered a 28/29 phaeton before? I know you had the 28 phaeton that needed restoring

Steve,
Thanks for the offer. I would appreciate the roadster instructions. Those instructions should show how the seats are upholstered. I can't see how the slight "dip" towards the front is made. My email address is: [email protected].

I have scanned a set of early 90's Lebaron Bonney 28-29 roadster top and interior instructions to a PDF file, have sent to Rusty. If anyone needs these or wants to add them to their library, let me know your email and I'll send them to you as well.
