Oops, I would be one of those inconsiderate recipients of the first batch.
Readers Digest version. I installed them back in July. I am very pleased
with them.
This was the first time I installed seat covers in a Tiger. I've done
Mustangs many times, but Tigers are whole different animal.
Long version.
I showed the covers to a friend who does a lot of his own upholstery on
Antique cars (He has a 1906 Buick). Art was impressed with the quaility of
the leather and the stitching.
I replaced the diaphragm and seat foam.
While I was stretching the bottom on the passenger seat, I managed to break
one of the piping cords on the side of the seat. I was sweating bullets
until Art was able to give me a new chunk of material and I was able to inch
worm it into the pocket.
After that all went together smoothly.
Boy you sure do sit a lot higher in the car when the diaphragm is in one
piece!
