    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Original Vinyl Seat Repair

Ed,

Your guy did a really nice job. Not sure what it cost you but if I send mine to PITA, they will obviously have additional ones available for other guys.

Seems their covers are in the $90 dollar range.
 
My seat is on it's way to Bangkok...... It will be cut to shreds for the good of all S owners.
 
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out Rich. The sewing pattern is not difficult to replicate but I hope they have the right vinyl material. The original vinyl is cowhide pattern, and the graining is somewhat random looking, not uniform. It's thick too.
 
More correspondence with Bangkok.... I sent Ed's comments and got a reply stating they innovated a method to make waterproof seats by embossing the stitch look, instead of actually stitching.

They also said that they can do the stitch method like the original.

I told them to do the latter.
 
As promised, here's my seat after i sew the seams together.I know it is not perfect,but beats getting an aftermarket one so far...Cheers,Gabor

Interesting.... your seat is the embossed type ( not real stitching ). This is what Bangkok wanted to do to the S replica seat. After discussing options, we decided to do actual stitching like the original.
