Hi peeps, does anyone know if its possible to take the covers off a set of nappa seats and fit them to the cushions in my car which are the 5 bar type? would the fit or is it not worth the struggle
 
I want to know the same but from 3 bar to 5 bar. I have set of 3 bar full electric and 5 bar non electric. Want the 5 bar on the 3 bar frames. I would say it's just a straight swap albeit a pain to do. Can't see the foam cushion being different.
 
The crap drawings on rave show them to be the same. The 3 or 5 panels look like one panel from the inside by the look of it, just different stitching on the outside.
 
Hog rings are little metal rings that hold the cover in place, and can be a pain to get off, and even more of a pain to get back on. Ive used thickish cable ties twice now on my seat bases and theyve been fine. Much easier than re doing all the rings
 
thought so. its a job to tackle when the weather improves. was planning to sell the other seats in time for xmas but never got around to getting them finished.
 
Anyone know were I can get some covers? Just front seats
Or if anyone got the complete fronts for sale ;) in gray
 
Here are some pics of the 5 panel seats I stripped today. Cut the hog rings with side cutters its much easier. These are the back of the front seats, the bottom part just comes away with the foam attached so they'er easy.
