arrived yesterday looks an ok match sheet large enough for two pillion seats would have been more if mr jack russell had allowed me to get to letterbox before him.

Looks good, are you going to do it yourself or get an upholsterer to do it?

If you want to get rid of the extra let me know...... ;)

I have a staple gun but have my doubts as to whether it's up to stapling onto the seat base ?if that fails then there's a local upholster with pneumatic staplers Will give him two old seats in and get them recovered. Ogs vinyl was only six quid for a sheet if you fancy a go yourself.

At that price it has to be worth a punt, think I'll look for an old seat as well just in case I cock it up

Excellent, just a few mins down the road from me.... :-) In fact, a few years back it would have been a few hundred yards! Another thing on the pile of round tuits.
