| 1.
Remove the old upholstery.
The leather tongues
X are sewn into the
new upholstery just above the upholstery headrest mount.
You will cut through the seat at the base of the headrest,
just above the seat's headrest mount. |
|
 |
2.
The slot in the seat is cut just ABOVE the seat's headrest mount,
shown here as a green line. Do not disturb the seat's headrest mount.
Place an awl (or other sharp instrument)
just above the seat's headrest mount, just inside the corner (where the
headrest meets the bolster). Hit with a hammer.... |
|
 |
3.
...it will punch though the sheet metal on the back of the seat. |
|
 |
4.
Punch through on the other corner (2).
Measure in 3 inches and punch again (3
& 4).
This will make four punched holes
through the back.
|
|
 |
5.
Turn the seat over, feel for the punched holes.
Cut an ellipse in the foam so you can see
the punched holes.
Use a putty knife to scrape away any
foam. |
|
 |
|
6.
Using sheet metal snips cut an ellipse
3 inches long by 1 inch tall.
Use the punched holes as reference points.
You are now done cutting the back. |
|
 |
|
7. From the front side,
slit the
foam ABOVE the headrest mount between the two punched holes (3 inches).
Cut just a slit, do not cut a hole.
You are done altering the foam and
steel of the seat. |
|
 |
8.
To install the upholstery: Slide the
headrest on as usual, before fastening the upholstery push the
leather 'tongues' into the slits in the foam.
Then attach the upholstery as usual. |
|
 |
When finished you will have created a pass through for your shoulder
harnesses.
