Hello,
Does anyone happen to have a pattern, or the dimensions, for the foam shapes needed for the CMC seats? Especially the side pieces?
Cheers,
Jim.

I have one yet to put together - So can easily trace on brown paper and mail to ya. Just send me your address.

Same here. I scored a pair of seats from Boston Bob and took them down to the fiberglass buckets for a rebuild prior to assembly. The backs were too flimsy for me. They're all apart on the work table. I could send patterns along with the $ for the gauge if you like.

TC and Wolfgang,
You are both Gentlemen and Scholars.
Thank you for the offers - I send my address separately.
If possible, could you post some pictures of the back of the seats? Or clarify how you get the covering to stick to the fibreglass?
I was going to use adhesive, but saw on fibersteel.com some nifty little hooks that are bonded to the seat.
These hooks look more robust than just glue, but have thus far not been able to find out whether they are unique to fibersteel.com or are in fact available elsewhere.
Any pointers or advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jim.
PS TC - It was me that screwed up the email, and not yourself. Comes of having multiple email accounts and not knowing which one to check.

Gee, I seem to be a litle late for this thread. I was going to offer to sit on the Xerox machine and send you the pattern for fabrication, maybe next time . . .
Wipe the FG with acetone to remove any wax/oil on surface and use contact cement or 3M spray dhesive. I have seen some seat upholstery that has wires sewn in and then clips are pop riveted to FG (Porsche 914 seats). Contact cement seems quite strong if you thinly apply to both surfaces and let tack dry before assembling.
Wolfgang is right on target. You don't really need to use hooks or anything like that. As he mentioned, be especially sure to wipe the seat buckets down with acetone before doing ANYTHING. The seats that I picked up were coming apart, after a very careful attempted assembly by the previous (and talented) owner. The seats seems to have an over abundance of release wax still on them when shipped. When you try to assemble the coverings, you end up gluing the vinyl to wax, NOT fiberglass. One hot day and the come . . . well, unglued.
Luck,
TC
