72SS454Chevelle Jul 28th, 02, 10:36 PM Has anyone used the pliers in the seat installation kit from our sponsor Groud UP? I have everything ready to go and have been unable to locate any locally. In the picture in the catalogue they appear to be pretty sturdy but I am looking for confirmation before I order.

I think they were for real hogs, though. They worked, none the less.

Thomas tdjr66 Jul 30th, 02, 1:27 AM what are they charging for their pliers? Reason I ask is that I bought mine from national parts depot and they sell you the pliers and 250 hog rings for $19.95 + s/h. That was enough rings to do my front buckets and rear bench in my 66' malibu. They are professional grade. just my 2 cents. tdjr66 1966 malibu ss convertible (canadian) 355/ 420hp th350 3.55 eaton posi 72SS454Chevelle Jul 30th, 02, 7:43 AM Well in the catalog they list them for 16.95 for the set of pliers and enough rings for front and rear seats. I ordered online and they were only 9.95. What a deal. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif I guess I will let you guys know what they are like after I get them. ------------------ Deon 72SS454 Clone Website (http://home.sc.rr.com/deon) Jimmy P Jul 30th, 02, 8:22 AM WHATEVER you do! DON'T buy the cheap hog ring pliers! I had blisters on my hands for a month and I have tough hands! 72SS454Chevelle Aug 1st, 02, 10:26 PM Ok I got the hog ring pliers and rings from Groundup. The pliers themselves are about 4 inches long and have rubber padded handles? I was wondering if these are what are used or are there better ones out there? Thanks for the help Deon ------------------ Deon 72SS454 Clone Website (http://home.sc.rr.com/deon) cjlandry Aug 1st, 02, 11:03 PM Those don't work worth a ****! Go to a good hardware store or farm supply and get real hog rings and pliers. They work much better and they're much cheaper. ------------------ My Web Page (http://www.landry-family.com) (updated 06-21-02) "Long Live Freedom!"

Using essentially the same rings as used for upholstry, just put a few in the hog's snout (in the tough tissue around the nose) and the hog suddenly loses interest in digging in the dirt with his nose. | ||
