Seat covers

[ChrisC]

Who makes the best seat upholstry for the M-37?
Does anyone offer a kit with the foam and all the fixinn's?

The canvas on mine is from weebee. I like it.

Typically they all do quality work, most of the guys have their fav, I do like WEE BEE, but never gave the other guys a chance. They do offer the foam, but the foam takes up valuable space in any package. Depending on where you live, I'd go with someone that was close by, or same area, west coast, north-east, does that make sense?
Another, even better idea, attend an event, such as Aberdeen/Ripkin or the Red Ball Express, the spring season is blooming with events, call the dealer ask 'em if they are planning on attending, save shipping, make a new friend and meet some like minded OD nut's!
Try it, I have always had a great time at Aberdeen, now Ripkin Field, the plus side is prices are rock bottom and plenty of deals on great stuff!
Sorry for running on ......

Chris,

Doesn't sound like you're looking for a DIY project with recovering the seats, but the cheapskate way is to buy the burlap and foam at an Arts & Crafts store (or an upolstery shop), pickup two Army pup tent halves (about $5 apiece) at one of the MV shows.......and make the covers yourself for almost nothing. Even if you don't have the old seat covers to use as a guide...you can guestimate pretty easily what the patterns should be.

regards,
bob

Chris, Dave from WeeBee goes to Findlay in May. If you call him ahead of time he will bring things for you to pick up at the show. Iv'e done that several times myself.

Got a set from New Life a couple of weeks ago. They seem to be great quality and Mona was very helpful with my questions when I ordered them and got them in just a few days. Price seemed very reasonable too.

Hi Ted,

Sorry for sounding ignorant......most of the guys on here are used to it by now.........but who is "New Life"?
How about some pics of your seats?

thanks,

New Life and Judy, are another manufacture of canvas for us and other Mil Veh owners. Quality work & all around nice folks to boot. It sounds like they might have some inventory, give 'em a call Bob!
