Bill,
Last year I recovered my early TR4 seats, which are pretty much the
same. You do take the cotton batting, and flip it over the top of the
seat by a few inches. This creates a flat and soft area athe the top.
I actually rolled up some batting, flattened it out, thenhad it go
about 3 inches to the fron, and three to the back of the seat top. I
hope that helps.
Regards,

===========================================
Hello List,
I took my seats to an auto upholstery guy to have the TRF covers
properly
attached (with tacks!) today. I carried copies of the pages from Roger
William's book, Ch 16, that shows how to do it.
The comment/question is this: The book calls for wrapping the padding
2"
over the top of the back, thus creating a lump across the top of the
back of
the seats. It seems to me this would be a little unsightly, but is
this the
correct way to upholster a TR3 seat?
Anyone with a good picture of this process and how the finished cover
looks?
This PO just had a nice piece of foam on the back trimmed and tapered
to fit
perfectly inside of the perimeter.
