Re: [T3] type 3 lowback seats


I just recently did this task. I have a brief dissertation on it on my site
here:
http://home.att.net/~tomnotch/notchprg.html
It's somewhere towards the bottom of the page Picture of the completed seat
linked off there..

  There are no seat covers made up "off the shelf" that would fit correctly
for what you purpose, and I had to have Sewfine modify their pattern for the
earlier '66 lowbacks. The inside curvature of the seatback cushion is
greater and the sides are much thicker. I can find scan and email some pix
of my frames that I took just before painting them and sending them to have
them upholstered. Mine ended up being a about an inch different. I wonder if
this could be considered  a darkside modification?

Hope this helps,
