Just kidding. BTW I like your collection.

I tend to agree with your view. I had a HX with a bench seat and it was very comfy but you leant sideways going round corners. I replaced them with modern bucket seats that lock you in but sore behind.

Alex, No one told me you can't oxy cut above foam mattrasses!

No I fitted new Air conditioners into the offices after it was rebuilt.
I think my Mum and partner are around Kalgoolie at the moment. They are gray nomads.

'playing with hog rings'

Hi guys,

In regard to the rings, i cant see why you couldnt use the fencing staple pliers used for joining/tieing your strands/wires onto your mesh. To me, they look almost exactly the same as the joints used on the seat base Cletrac' has shown. These pliers take about 1 second to put a ring like staple on.

If you do this, just bear inmind these staples usually have a pointy tip- might need a quick whack into the grinding wheel- could be a problem otherwise if it spins and rips your new cnavas.

Cheers,
Ian.

Nice Ute Bob, what is the seat like?

Ian that's exactly what I was thinking. I recon you could U nail or staple the bottom of the springs to a piece of ply that sits in the seat base. That also gives you something to staple the canvas to.
For around the top a piece of high tensile fencing wire.
Cheers
Jeff
