Show Off Your Upholstery

[JohnB]

Attachment 12160For those of you that have the factory upholstery, how did you install the pieces that go to the seat pan? Anyone have any photos of that part of the install? In particular, I am wondering about the three pieces that look like wings Two of the pieces are alike and one is slightly different from the other two. I will try to post a picture of the pieces.

Here are a few pics the may help. The one that is different is for the center section of the seat and the others are for the sides. The center piece took some work to get glued down and smoothed out with out wrinkles but came out nice in the end.

Thank you JohnB, that is exactly what I needed to see. I kind of thought that was the case but just wanted to be sure. What did you use to glue them on with? I have been using 3M spray glue, Some say it works and others aren't so sure?!

[JohnB]

I also used the 3M spray glue. So far it's held up well.

3M spray glue is also what I used and the factory recommends. It works good, but it is similar to contact cement, after the pieces contact you can't adjust. That said, it was not too difficult.

A tip I learned the hard way: You spray both surfaces, but don't spray very heavy on the fabric, otherwise it may soak thru in spots and leave visible evidence on the finish surface.

Any body got the measurements of those nice looking seat cushions that kitfox sells, I would like to see if they would fit in my Model 1 seat pan, Front and rear measurements of the bottom seat cushion would be really nice thanks TJay Larsen,

TJay, my apologies, I couldn't make it to the hanger today and now I won't be back for a week or more. (Heading to Idaho for training with Stick & Rudder). Can someone help him?

No hurry guys if some one has a set laying around just take a few measurements and post them if you would. Thanks
