rear seat covering M38A1

Have to ask as when I got this it was a mess...goats had eaten part of the front pass. seat covering and the padding as well.
The fronts are pretty straight forward. the rear seat bottom is a little different. The frame has the holes along the front and the rear part where the springs sit.

Does the cover go over the front round bar of the seat frame attached with screws and the same for the back part along the flat tray part? Then the sides would be hog ringed to the springs from underneath...before attaching to seat frame?

It was all tucked under when I got it and hog ringed so it was like a cushion and could be lifted out from the seat or fell when the seat was tipped up.

Any advice and or pics would be great. I am using the original rear seat backs and seat bottom covers as well. the goat didn't make it that far.
Thanks Casey

I can tell you that would be a dead goat in these parts.

You got that right! But not my goat. From the farm where I bought the jeeps. If it was we'd be eating Mutton!

On my jeep, screws were used to fasten the seat cushion to the front, back and both sides of the frame. On the pad for the back of the seat, screws were used on the top and bottom; nothing on the sides since it is a small cushion and not much to work with.

Thank you... So all the way round on the bottom...I must have a very small piece of fabric to work with as the bottom wouldn't even do the front and rear together so I'll be getting a new set of canvass for that one! Thanks very much Mel!
