<div class="gmail_msg">Gentlemen,</div>
<div class="gmail_msg">I am redoing my Tiger seats and need some help. I have attempted to contact
Martha but have not gotten a response. I am trying to figure out the proper
procedure for recovering the seat bottoms and want to do it right the first
time. I have read Joe Parlanti’s write up on the TEAE.org website but still have
some questions. My seats are the newer version that uses the rubber diaphragm
bottoms as opposed to the individual straps that Joe describes. Can anyone out
there that has done this give me some advice? Do I need to glue anything in
place? It seems that the foam sits nicely nestled down into the frame and with
the seat cover in place probably won’t shift or slide out of position, or am I
missing something? A step by step procedure of “Tiger seat renewal for dummies”
from someone that has done this before would be extremely helpful. My seat
covers are still in reasonably nice shape and will be reused. The seat backs
will be used as is, the only reason I am doing this at all is the bottom foam
has self destructed and my drivers seat frame had broken and needed welding.
Also, as stated in a previous post, the cross tubing that is a height adjuster
is missing on the drivers side frame. I didn’t even notice it until I saw
pictures on the net and compared it to my passenger side frame. I am fairly tall
so it really wasn’t an issue. If it were yours would you take the one off the
passenger side and put it on the drivers side? Any help will be appreciated and
thank you in advance.-Brad</div></div></div></div>
