Call him, he'll tell ya all his negotiations with the manufacturer, reserching the correct texture pattern, ect, on and on till you think, "all right already! I got it!"LOL

They go on well. I did mine in one evening, in my living room, while watching TV. I did need to buy hog-ring and a hog-ring plier. $7.00 at the hardware store.

Thought I would take advantage of the stronger Aus $ and get a few bits and pieces.

The Classic Datsun seat covers, I see you had no trouble fitting, how was the material match?

Did you use the the original padding and horse hair?(the brown fibreous material)

Its hard to make a decision without seeing the finished product.

Nick,

I did not change the any of the foam or any of the seat structures during my re-covering. It appeared to me that the CDM cover had the same vinyl texture patteren as the oiginal

Horse-hair? I don't recall seeing horse hair on my 72 seats. The foam was covered with thin plastic, that was mostly degraded and torn. I used talcum powder as a lubricant, in order to slip on the covers as tightly as possible. The CDM seat cover replicated all the mounting details, having all the pockets for the mounting wires in the correct locations.
