Plot twist - it turns out the old seat covers are from Distinctive Industries. Huh. Now that I think about it, I remember ordering them from OPG and being really unhappy. Maybe because I was expecting PUI.



I uncovered an interesting technique when disassembling the seats. Rather than hog ringing the listing wires to the upper seat frame, the upholstery shop attached a few inches of muslin in several places, fed that through the foam, pulled it tight and hog ringed it to the frame.





Got the rear seat and part of the passenger seat done. Got a few blisters from clipping old hog rings and installing new ones, and my upper body is getting a work out from all the stretching. They're looking good though. Legendary has a number of install videos on YouTube that were helpful.
