Subject: [Tigers] Drivers seat redo
Guys, I=E2=80=99m going to rebuild my drivers seat on my MK1A Tiger and =
need some advice. The seat cover is fine although when I disassembled the s=
eat I discovered that the previous owner simply put the new cover over the =
old one. They probably did this because the foam and everything else associ=
ated with the seat was still sound. That was 36 years ago. First off is thi=
s commonly done? People tell me the answer is yes. What do you guys think? =
The cover is probably reusable and it matches the passenger seat which is f=
ine and will be left alone. It was probably done in the same manner. My nex=
t and main question is where to by the new foam and attaching hardware that=
I might need. I have seen the tutorial on Tigers United about rebuilding T=
iger seats and plan to follow those guidelines. I just need to know the bes=
t source for materials. My project will begin with rebuilding=C2=A0 the low=
er seat frame, welding etc. because it is broken in several places. Thank y=
ou in advance for any and all guidance.-Brad
