I'm in the process. Got the pan almost finished. Steel. Sits on rubber bumpers on the frame rails, has two small bolts holding it down in the front, and will have some velcro sitched into the seam in a few places to wrap the frame rail and assist in holding the seat in place.
I have used the original foam from the stock seat, cut down roughly already, which I will glue directly to the steel pan and finally trim down to exact size.
I have a bunch of scrap black leather in pieces big enough to make a seat cover, and experience sewing.
Where I get fuzzy is how to hold the leather cover in place. I have considered:
1. aluminum or stainless pop rivets,
2. the little plastic push-through car panel jobbers,
3. similar steel push-through things used to hold the stock vinyl in place, or
4. just glueing it. I used gorilla glue to reattach part of a seat cover before.
The stock pan used the push-through doohickies mentioned above and 'teeth' cut out of the pan itself. I don't want to cut dozens of these teeth by hand. I'm also not crazy about having metal show on the outside edge of the seat cover...which includes riveting.
Help.
