I then installed snaps around the edges of the seat covers so they fasten securely to the seat pan and are still easy to remove later if necessary.  I will later use these seat covers as a pattern for leather seat covers.  Can anyone tell me if there is a reason not to use this standard automotive material inside my plane??  If so, please e-mail me at:  MitchDCGS@aol.com

I made "NO" modifications to the foam to make it fit the seat pan!! Just some contact cement to make it fasten tightly to the pan. Then I slipped the seat covers on and added a tiny bit of foam in spots that needed to be filled out (mainly on the sides of the seat backs).
