Leather Seats

[rave]

Hello Hoovie, it looks very nice, did you mount them your self or add it mounted elsewhere? And the tissue covers came out or the leather ones just fit on top of them ? thanks a lot.

Hi rave,

firstly, these are proper fitted covers, not slip-overs. There is an important difference as the fitted covers have to need to get fixed to the various points around the seats via hogrings and rails, which means the cloth covers must be removed to expose those fittings (apart from which the extra bulk would mean the wouldn't fit.

The slipover covers around would just get baggy in the centres and are not nice.

I fitted some parts and a trimmer fitted others as there was some stitching required to transfer fitting parts from cloth covers to leather covers so the trimmer did those. It is a pretty straightforward job to strip down the covers away from the seats. Fitting is more complex as the fittings - while in exactly the same place are not the same exact style, so have to adapt a little.

Thanks Hoovie can you send me a PM with the price you bought them? thanks a lot ! ;)
