its not that people wont help mike in some situations people cant help. When i did my upholstery i used some old ebay packaging. just the same stuff as what your using albeit less of it. whats wromg with the current seats u have anyway?
Hi Mike.
I know that if people could, they would. That goes without saying.
The 2 front seats are O.K. but the two parts that make up the cockpit rear bench seat didn't fit at all, not even close. Also, the seat squab has to be easily removable to access some of the gubbins that make the boat go.
As you saw in an earlier post, the Cockpit and Sundeck coaming upholstery are a disaster, maybe I've just been unlucky and received a Friday afternoon kit.
So, having to remake those two bits and also uncover the rear seat bits for re shaping I will be using the same material that I have used for the cockpit flooring, it's off white which means everything will have to be changed to suit.
Had the woodwork not turned out quite so well then I would have probably used the parts as supplied by Amati, although how I could have fitted the bench seat I have no idea.
I also prefer the more subtle colours, Cream and a sort of Coffee, rather than the gaudy blue and white, which reminds me too much of a spiv in a pair of cheap trainers.
As the cold damp weather has arrived I can't do any varnishing, as I can only work in my shed at the bottom of the garden. This gives me plenty of time to fiddle about with things like the upholstery to get them as perfect as my limited ability allows.
Griping over, take care.
Mike.
