I just remembered a minor complaint with the seat covers I ordered from
Rimmers: They only supplied about 2/3 the number of hog rings
that are required. So I had to waste time trying to find more.
A hint: Instead of buying special hog ring pliers, I took a
$2.99 pair of pliers and a Dremel tool, and ground a couple of grooves
in the faces of the pliers. The cheaper the pliers are, the easier this is...
