Title: seat upholstery question
Post by: 67VERT on May 27, 2012, 09:41:25 AM

I'm starting on the seats. Am I missing a formed piece that will prevent the tubes from rubbing into the seat covers

Should be ok. When you put the cover on, you will compress the top of the seat and once the cover is on nothing should interfere.

Those look to be the wrong pads, the correct ones come over the top and cover the ends of the tubes like this for 66- early 67 seats.
