Seat restoration - Questions

#1 Post by Bart Elsen »

I have some questions regarding the seats of a 356A coupe from 1959

-The cloth of the backrest; should it look like picture C? In picture A&B they really look crappy...especially on the corners??
-The horizontal straps (2 pieces) should they go beneath or on top of this backrest cloth?

Does anyone have a original seat where it's shown how it was done in the factory?

Bart,
This is what my seat backrest looked like when I removed the cover. The cover wasn't original but the rest looked stock. This is on a 1965 "C".
