This afternoon we got ourselves psyched up enough to try to install the rear bottom seat cover that my wife sewed up. We had determined that we definitely needed listing wires to avoid tearing the vinyl, so we bought some cheap muslin and she sewed pockets on for the wires. The old wires in the old seats were rusted nearly away, so I picked up some cheap baling wire at the farm store. It's pretty thin wire, so I doubled it and twisted the wires together with a drill, now it's just right. Once we learned to trust our measurements we positioned the foam and batting the way we wanted and stretched to cover onto the frame. My wife compressed the springs while I stretched and hog-ringed the cover in place. This gave me the opportunity to tell her that she is too skinny because she had to put her foot on the frame and stand on it, so I got some brownie points for that. One down all the rest to go!
