Re: Folding Utility bucket seat?
Unless things have changed, aftermarket foam and covers are not being made for the utility buckets, so you will have to make your own.

Re: Folding Utility bucket seat?
Yeah the foam is actually really good on these so that isn't an issue. They definitely need new covers made though. I know there's not many utility buckets out there so there isn't a big demand for the aftermarket to make any

Re: Folding Utility bucket seat?
FWIW, the utility buckets have to be the easiest to recover. These are a perfect candidate for anyone that has never done upholstery before.
Just remember to use medium desity foam, not high density. Ask me how I know! |

Re: Folding Utility bucket seat?
This is the original embossed pattern from SMS
You need 3 different materials, horizontal embossed for the seat back, full embossed lateral for the seat bottom, and expanded foam for the skirt 20190224_095844 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97391199@N06
