    Re-covering seat cover

    My instructions say that I have to use 3/16 staples to recover it. I couldn't even find staples that small in Home Depot. What have you used? And holy crap were there a million I had to pull out from the original!

    If I were you I’d take it to your local upholstery shop. I took my tri z’s seat there with a nac's racing blaster seat cover and they made it fit and look perfect for only $10.

    seat recovering

    i picked up a air powered stapler from menards + they have a whole range of staples. works great for re-upolistery ( or how ever you spell it).
    i have learned to use a spray adheasive on the material also,,, keeps it from puckering up ( lack of better words - lol).

    john

    if you don't have a menards in your area,,, try a ace hardware store.

    Stapler

    I put the new cover on my 350x and it came out nice. I used an Arrow JT-21 hand stapler. Arrow makes them as small as 1/4" for it. Home Depot should have them, just make sure they are chisel point or they wont go in.
