Mk 1 seat cover replacement,

[tonymor]

Has anyone had any experience of replacing the seat fabrics on the seats ? I spoke to a chap at an event earlier this year who had found someone selling the replacement covers and he explained how after removing the seats you unclip
The cover from the seat and clip the new one on . Anyone know of or have done so ?

It's actually really straight forward. Seat comes out by removing the bolt at each end of each rail. The rails can be unbolted from the seat base to keep them out of the way. You then separate the base from the back by removing the bolts to the sides of the seat.

The fabric is held on by a series of hog rings. Cut theses off with snips and you can then remove the covers. The hog rings can be replaced with cable ties when you put it all back together.

All helpful advice. Just a case of researching suppliers as I would like to acquire something as
near as possible to the original.
