Title: sheep skin seat
Post by: excopper on June 02, 2013, 02:49:40 PM

 :wht11 :butt
             O.K. my missus kept sliding into the back of me when braking bit hard(factory vinyl) so thought about sheep skin, looked around and very expensive,for what they are,..asked all ozstock members...came up with great idea's, especially(forgotten) who sent me photos of one he made  from goat skin, was a beauty, so set about makin my own.
             Went to mach one auto's an bought three seat covers(bucket) two for my mitsibishi,one for the Honda($24 each) and set about makin it, half hour later all done, take a look,, had it on now for about 3-4 months,,,now I know it works will go for a better quality sheepskin when this one eventually wears through.

The seat cover looks like a ripper. Good job. Thought about going into production?  :clap

That's an awesome idea :clap :-++
Do you have any tips or things to be wary of for others that want to do the mod?

 :wht11 no tips its really pretty simple, maybe just start by sliding the seat part over from the back,not the head rest section,you actually discard the head rest section,
                the white bike is one of these :wht11 ha ha ha
