Hi Guys,
Im just about slip on the covers and I want to know if anyone has pictures of how your seat foam is held in place? I have the ACI foam and it is definatly high quality. Do I just pull the fabric that is attached to the foam taught and hog ring it or...?? Thanks for all replys...TC IS THE BEST!

What you are saying sounds about right.

On the bottoms you will have to secure the listing wires that run front to back down the seat part. These wires will get ringed thru the foam right to the wire that is part of the spring setup. That will secure the foam in place. I also did the same procedure to the upright part of the buckets just using a steel wire thru the foam and securing it to the springs to hold the foam in place. There is no listing wire on the upright part so there won't be a shape to the finished seat but that held my foam in place nicely.
