Remember this? I bought it and a double passenger seat off ebay for the SWB. It seems to have come from a LHD van, as the wear is on our inside of the seat. We had a badly worn custom seat in the yard, so I took the fabric off to make a pattern. This is only for the darker grey vinyl, the very front and sides of the seat were fine. I then stripped some fabric off a passenger seat. We've got a total of 4 and a half vinyl passenger seats, and the the one the fabric came off was worn on the outside. I then cut the fabric using the pattern. I managed to line up the stitched lines on the original panel. I then stitched the seat base skin back together. By hand

I then turned my attention to the seat squab. The inside edge of the foam was slightly worn, so I cut out the wear, and replaced it with some foam cut from the seat squab foam from the passenger seat I glued the foam repair in place, and left the foam with a board and weight overnight. I was then ready to put the seat back together. I just want to point out that the Mk2 seat base has a hidden wire support stitched into it, which in turn is fixed with clips to the foam. This pulls the cover into the seat contour. It also makes life difficult for stitching!! Finished!! I am quite pleased with it, as a first effort.

Here's a better pic of it, as it was going dark by the time I took the last ones! There is a slight difference in the shade of dark grey, but that's something I will have to live with! It still looks better than it did....
