Drivers seat is now finished.

The seat really looks and feels great, definitely an improvement.
Had to reinforce the old clothing by sewing some new blue cloth on the sides, made it much easier since the "hog rings" now have something to grip on.

Time for the back piece...

Cleaned and ready to mount

Only the "plastic chrom" covers left.

Finally finish sewing the seat.

Put the MB Tex cover over the seats backbone.

Used "hog rings" to fixate the MB Tex cover, the pliers and "hog rings" at  the bottom of the picture

Tighten it up.

MB Tex seat repaired

The entire bottom of the MB-Tex cover was torn so I glued on a new piece of cloth to protect it from the Horshair-pad. Now I had to sew each stitch to keep the padding and ribbons stay in place...Took a couple of hours but at least the seat is finished now. Only waiting for the "hog-rings" I ordered so I can attatch the seat cover to the seats backbone. As soon as the seat is finished I will start with the back.

The seat to the left and it was more worn than the back piece to the right.

Started to sew using two needles, one fom each side.. Gives strong stitches ,same as from a sewing machine

Time consuming but easy since I use the old holes...

The middle stitches finished...

Finish, sparyed some glue over the stitches to fixate them.

All ribbons in place.

I have now dissabled the drivers seat, not much to say since a picture says more then 100 words.  At least it gives you a hint of wats waiting you if you try it yourself.

I started with stiffening up the seat springs by using a plasted wire and it works very well.
Still it's quite soft at he front of the seat so I've used a pice from a "Foam Mat", the "Foam Mat roll" are kept in place by a wire so it stays where it should. small things but they really makes a difference.

The whole seat laying on the floor

The plastic chrome pices must carafully be peeled of.

 

The plastic nob need to be turned to be loosen.

Everything dissambled.

Removed the "hog-rings"

Stiffened up it a little.

Old pad to the left.
