1st you need to determine which style seat you have and =
compare to the illustrations in the SS catalog . Joe =
Parlanti=E2=80=99s article is excellent for that style seat cover and =
similar covers but there is also a seat cover with a separate center =
section. Once you know which style, you can make an order.
=20
No matter which style seat you have =E2=80=93 always take pictures and =
take really good notes as you disassemble the seats.
Disassembly is the easy part =E2=80=93 its understanding the assembly =
process that takes time and thought to organize.
Some parts may be SIDED so carefully note and mark them.
=20
Check the condition of all the hardware and fasteners =E2=80=93 SS has =
most of them available.
I had to also buy a couple of taps and dies, 1/4=E2=80=9D x 26 BSF and =
5/16=E2=80=9D x 22 BSF, to clear up some threads.
=20
I had bad luck a long time ago with the rubber diaphragms; they ripped =
and fell apart too quickly. I=E2=80=99m not sure where I got those =
diaphragms but the ones I got from SS are doing nicely.
=20
I believe the way to install the rubber diaphragms is to attach diagonal =
corners 1st then attach the rest of the clips. The corners should be =
fairly easy but the rest of them may become more difficult and require =
more effort as you proceed. It has been way too long since I did any =
of this work so work carefully.
=20
Hope this helps

Subject: [Tigers] Mk 1A Seat Rebuild
=20
I've seen the Parlanti article on Tigers United, about rebuilding the =
seats, but his seats were earlier than mine and had the straps. My =
seats from my Mk 1A have the rubber diaphragm. Is there any info on =
line about restoring Mk 1A seats? I want to be sure I know what I'm =
getting into before pulling the trigger on an order to SS, or ripping =
mine apart.
