I'm recovering the seats in my bug-eye. Has this process been documented
anywhere? The seat backs aren't too big a deal, as I have the old covers to
use as a guide and I learned a lot when I took them off. The seat bottoms
are a different story. Basically, all the parts are new and I haven't a
clue how this all goes together. I'm hoping this has been documented and
lives on a website somewhere, or is available in a restoration guidebook.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I also need a template or dimensions for the wooden spacers that fit under
the seats. I prefer to make them myself (I'm a better woodworker that
mechanic), but I have no idea on the size.
Final question (for the moment): what kind of nut holds the seat back to
the base? Surely it is some sort of cap. Another of the many minor parts I
am missing.
Thanks!
