Re: doin the rear seat!!!

"...they have never done it themselves..."  I find this a tad disturbing.  
I would expect this answer from a whole sale company but not from a small 
specialized business.  Naturally they've never heard of others having 
problems.  I've talked with them before and customer service is not one of 
their strong points.

Hey, I know!  Who'd like to begin a Type 3 parts business that specializes 
in all T3 parts and is not afraid to fabricate custom parts.  Call me!  Ha, 
just kidding -- if I had the capital, a garage and someone competent in 
metal working I'd love to have a home business as such.  At least I know 
the value of good customer service, something that is lacking in many 
businesses.

Well, I need help!
     I'm recovering the rear lower bench in my 65 Notch with covers from
Bill&Steves and Geeze I just cant get it on!!
     I called B&S but all they could say was that they have never done it
themselves and have never heard of problems, no help at all!

Problem:  I replaced the horse hair witha  foam pad and am trying to put the
cover on as the original, over the little spikes, and I just cant
get the lower section (with a string in it, untied) to go all the
way around the lower seat
rail.  The diameter of the fully stretched cover, on the bottom, is MUCH less
than the lower seat rail.
     I know there supposed to be a real stretch,  I did the fronts sucessfully,
but has anyone had similar problems??

WHO MAKES THE COVERS FOR B&S??

Any thoughts are going to be better than what I got from B&S.

Thanks;   Keith
