Hardway Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted September 8, 2012 What do you think your price per seat was? Tools and material?The breakdown above includes the prices of everything I had to buy that I did not already have. It comes out to $582 so if you split that it comes to $291 and that is of course my time being worth $0. If I was paying myself $10/hr and have 8 hours in it, that brings the total ito $371 for the single seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted September 15, 2012 Share #14 Posted September 15, 2012 I noticed the prices you put on there- 310$ for the pair of cushions!!Classic Datsuns web site shows 405$ for the set of covers and cushions- so I guess that's not up to date?

Hardway Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted September 22, 2012 Hey Madkaw. Good question, let me clarify as the website is a bit confusing. $405 is for the covers and cushions together which is a savings of $90. I did not buy my covers through CD. The cushions are $125 per set so I paid $250 plus $60 for shipping for a total of $310. I hope that helps with the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich 71 240Z Posted February 11, 2013 Share #20 Posted February 11, 2013 I did my seats over the winter with the same kit. Looks like you had pretty much the same results I did. Took me longer and I reused my old seat foams and built them up where they were broken down. I do have a question for anyone with a 240 though. I just got new seat belt holders but I am having a hard time finding the installation holes through the new vinyl. Can anyone get me a measurement from the top of the upper mounting arm to the screw hole. I want to be sure I have the correct location before I poke a hole in my new covers!Thanks!

bartsscooterservice Posted February 14, 2013 Share #23 Posted February 14, 2013 Mine was done to by the previous owner, but seems to didn't add enough foam filling in the seat. Maybe I will do something about that later on, but other things first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ohio Posted September 1, 2014 Share #24 Posted September 1, 2014 I am going to do my seats with the same foam. I have not taken the seats out yet as I want to have everything necessary before doing so.My question, there are a lot of different size hog rings available. What size is used on these seats. The smallest I have found are 1" and I think that is probably what I need.Any advice on which to get?Thanks,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
