I amcurrently in the process of a re-upholstry job on my 90NA. I purchased a black and grey set of skins from leatherseats.com and am very satisfied with them. It is a fairly time consuming job to do the work yourself so be prepared. My main issue right now is the Drivers seat left bolster cushion. It is in partial shreads and the dealer is asking an unreasonable $$$ amount for a replacement so I am stuck for now on the drivers seat. I used an interesting process of plastic tie wraps and a leather punch to make the holes to attach the skins to the seat and it did a very nice and efficient job on the passenger seat. Its completed and I can get you a picture if your interested. The tie wrap process was much easier than the hog rings to install. I also am installing seat heaters and the passenger seat installation went well. If only I can find a replacement bolster cushion? I purchased a core seat from a junk yard so I can use the car while I am finishing the seat. :I have a driver's side seat out of a 240sx s13 currently with stock worn
:down gray cloth. I am interested in rehupholstering it with black leather
:and red stitching . I searched online for kits and such to absolutely no
:avail. I have only found rather inexpensive looking seat covers online.
:Is it even necessary for me to remove the cloth or can I simply put
:leather over it? Glue?
:It is important to me that it looks professional, and not simply like a Wal-
:mart seat cover, however, I would like to do it all myself and not send
:the seat to a company such as Katzkin. I have a friend who is proficient
:when it comes to sewing.
:I also looked at tanneries online but I am unsure as to whether a car
:seat leather, which is exposed to extreme heat and cold, needs to be
:chemically treated in a specific manner.
:Also, does anyong sell bracketry to mount a car seat to a frame with
:wheels like an office chair?
:Any links or advice your guys could give would be fantastic. Thanks in
:advance.
:Ian
