But you will need a full box of blades and a good set of large tailors scissors for cutting it. It blunts blades in seconds.
    Also another top tip if you are a super sexy hairy hunk of love be carefull with the spray glue if wearing shorts and a t shirt when applying it. A bit of a stray aim catching a good nozzlee full of glue up your legs and arm is not a good idea. Very painfull [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

                      Starting to catch up to the present day in this thread now. Last month i picked up a couple of captains seats. Had the pair for £75. One was an from a very early t4 in blue. Not bad condition. But not for me so i sold that one on. The other was from a late van like mine and in the inca pattern. It had a headrest but it was the wrong pattern. So i gave that away. It also had a damaged arm rest. Another common fault with the T4. The captive nut had also snapped off inside the seat back. I stropped the covers off and washed them. The foam was a bit poope on the offside of the base so i stripped an old office chair we had in the skip in work. Used the foam from that to build up the bolster. The back frame of a captains seat is different to a non armrest seat. Theres an extra band on the sides and rear for strength and to where the armrest mounts. The capptive nut sits between 2 plates and it would have been impossible. So i made a bigger plate to slot in the hole and threaded it in the correct place. Like a bigger version of the captive nut [emoji16]
                      The snapped arm rest noddy was easy enough to fix. You can buy tepair plates off ebay for £5 but why pay money when you can fix it. I cut a groove in the alloy and fitted a bit of steel in there to teplicate the old hook type noddy. All worked a treat. Re built it and its so much comfier to drive with an armrest. I find anyway.

                      Good job on those mate. I did mine in my corrado. I thought it was witchcraft before I started but they seemed pretty straightforward!

                        Some dodgy staining on that seat foam bud. Dare not remove mine....imagine it looks like a map of Europe under there.
