'66 1800 front seat upholstery

BillWhitman · Mar 1st, 2023, 22:46

I got a 1966 P1800. I got it mechanically in good shape, so I decided t attack the interior. I purchased new leather seat covers and associated foam. I have never did this before, so I am looking for any suggestions.I opened one of the leather plastic bags and found 2 cotton webs, any idea on their usage. Also there was a sheet ( 12 by 18) piece of leather. Similar to upholstery leather.
Thank in advance

The cotton webs may be bags. They go over the foam to help you when putting the leathercover on. You can spray the foam/cotton with silicone to help it slide on too. Piece of leather? No idea, but if it matches your seat keep it for potential repairs. Ask the supplier?

Piece of leather for the outside base frame panel cover?
