slice Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Chris you could probably pick one up from ebay or just google it and pick one from the list. You could also buy yourself a good electric stapler and do it yourself for far less than the price someone else would charge, I just did mine on the FJ and although it don't look professional it does the job and you can't see underneath it anyway once it's done. A professional seat repairer can charge a large amount of money to do a job that most folks can do in their shed with a bit of patience and 2 cups of tea, Look on Youtube for inspiration and ideas about how to refit your old seat cover there are loads of guys who have done it themselves and the results tho mixed are impressive.

jimmy Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 A local upholsterer recovered my Triumph seat for £30. He saved the rear panel with the name embossed and sewed that into the new cover. Check out any local guys to yourself. If we don't use them we will lose them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
