@Marshall posted:What I think Leo was describing was a heavy canvas, perhaps padded, seat cover designed to be slipped over a racing shell seat and lashed tightly into place. Removable and washable. I'm sorry that some of you have never heard of this. But that hardly makes it not correct. But it seems feasible to me. I thought that it might be worth some investigation by Erik, if he was so inclined.
I don't think that that was the rub Marshall. The upholstery guy calling the fiberglass shells junk and saying that that isn't the way a seat is upholstered etc etc is the rub. Since the very first replica was built and fiberglass seat shells were put into use the seats have pretty much been covered the same way. And there are A LOT of them out there and they're all holding up just fine. Maybe he was looking for a reason not to do the work on your seats.
