>1. How is the quality of the kit which Moss sells?
I put new covers on my '78 B. Really wasn't too much trouble, althoug I
screwed up one seat by using a 3M spray adhesive. I "complained" to Moss
that they did not suggest or supply the "proper" glue. They did, but on a
page many pages away from the seat covers. But, I digress. Once I got the
right stuff (and Moss was kind enough to split a seat cover set to replace
the one I bunged up), it went on pretty easily. VB has included a nice
color insert in their catalogue within the past year or so which provides a
pretty good description of the process.

No and NO. Put strips of plastic (about 4" wide) across the top and down
the sides of the foams so the covers slide down. From here, I forget te
details I'm ot of town for a while).

Guess I'm kind of partial to Moss (see above).

No cutting - covers are basically assembled but need to be slid over,
fitted and glued to the foams/seat backing panel.
Let me know if you would like me to try to locate te VB inserts and I'll be
happy to copy (B&W) and mail to you.
