Topic: 350/4 seat cover

[Trevor from Warragul]

I'm so pleased with the job I did installing a seat cover on my 350/4 I had to post some pictures.  I got the cover from:

The pattern isn't right, but at the price ($59.95 AUD) who am I to complain?

I fixed it into place using spike strips from here:

The 350/4 seat is a little tricky as it uses claws to secure the cover.  I had to dremel those off.  The seat pan also has a few bumps, so I cut the spike strips into 2 spike pieces & rivetted 10 of those down the sides.  The strap & trim are from the original seat.  The trim piece had to be carefully cut off the old cover & glued on the new cover.  All in all, I'm pretty happy with the result, which came to about $110.00 AUD all up.

I know this is an ancient thread but it had the photos I needed and everything.  I have a cover for my 550 seat and I'm pretty confident I can get it on and looking pretty good.  My question is how to get the seat strap on.  Do I screw right through the seat cover?
