upholstery supplies
I'm not sure which section this belongs in but, I am having a difficult time finding the clips for bucket seat covers. I am looking for the ones that go on the center panels of the cover through the foam to the wire in the back, they look a little like a paper clip. Does anyone know where to purchase these, as I have several broken ones?

Re: upholstery supplies
no not the hog rings. These go on the center panel. They are about 1.5" with a loop on each end to hook the seat cover to the wire in the back of the frame.

Re: upholstery supplies
They are like really strong thin wire. I would think you could use wire from a hardware store to achieve the same result as originals may be hard to come up with. Have you talked with an upholstery shop?

Re: upholstery supplies
Those are the ones. I will probably just make some. Figured someone may already make them and save me some time.

Re: upholstery supplies
I ended up making mine. They are easy to make just difficult to figure out which size goes where.
