Scheel seat project Options

[mepstein]

Thanks to a world member pointing this out on facebook marketplace. It was spelled wrong and slid under my search. Scheel 303 seat. Built and upholstered almost exactly like a 914 seat. Used on some 914-6GT’s. Hopefully this is a quick project - famous last words. If I can get a local upholstery shop to make new vinyl upholstery, I can reassemble and take care of the rest. Finding the really thin corduroy might be a challenge but I’m sure it’s out there and I don’t need much.

The seat is made up of the corduroy center and the outer is Vinyl. When we looked at the seat originally, we thought we would have to replace the vinyl and the corduroy. When we disassembled the seat we see the corduroy was pulled lose -we can save that .

We need to replace the outer black vinyl My sewing guy is getting me a price I will let you know .



Then

when they took the seat apart, they found this. a really cheap seat construct
