Speaking of tutorials, it seems the TU site is down at the moment.

<div><span class="828465014-13032016"> The tutorial on Tigers United is
very good but it covers that one style seat cover; your seat cover could be
a different style. I suggest that you carefully take your seat apart
taking good notes and pictures. You can now determine if
your seat style is the same as the tutorial. If your seat
style is different your notes will now be your guide to rebuild the
seat.</span></div>

<div><span class="828465014-13032016"> There are a lot of parts involved
with the seat construction that is why pictures and good notes are
imperative. Look for any wear points in the old upholstery so you
can look for sharp edges and places you might want to put additional materials

<div>Guys,</div>
<div>I’m going to rebuild my drivers seat on my MK1A Tiger and need some
advice. The seat cover is fine although when I disassembled the seat I
discovered that the previous owner simply put the new cover over the old one.
They probably did this because the foam and everything else associated with
the seat was still sound. That was 36 years ago. First off is this commonly
done? People tell me the answer is yes. What do you guys think? The cover is
probably reusable and it matches the passenger seat which is fine and will be
left alone. It was probably done in the same manner. My next and main question
is where to by the new foam and attaching hardware that I might need. I have
seen the tutorial on Tigers United about rebuilding Tiger seats and plan to
follow those guidelines. I just need to know the best source for materials. My
project will begin with rebuilding the lower seat frame, welding etc.
because it is broken in several places. Thank you in advance for any and all
guidance.-Brad</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div id="msgSandbox_AB4NiWIABI58VuWHGwOGWLQ2hKM_2" class="msgSandbox" style="padding: 1.5em 0.5em 0.5em 1.2em; word-wrap: break-word;"><div class="yQTDBase yqt8624341922" id="yqt35250">_______________________________________________<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net" href="javascript:return">tigers@autox.team.net</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none">Donate: <a shape="rect" href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a></a><br clear="none">Archive: <a shape="rect" href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a></a><br clear="none">Forums: <a shape="rect" href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a></a><br clear="none">Unsubscribe: <a shape="rect" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/tigers/lovemygirls365@yahoo.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/tigers/lovemygirls365@yahoo.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/tigers/lovemygirls365@yahoo.com</a></a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><blockquote>
