Another option is to take your seats to a local auto upholstery shop and let
them do it.  I had the seats for my spitfire done for $85 each and I basically
gave them the frames and said build me some seats.  They made up the cushions
and made the covers.  I had them make the covers with a cloth insert (the
original MkIII seats are all vinyl) which is real nice on a hot summer day.
It took them about 3 days to do the job and I'm very happy with them.
