Bought some Al Knoch Leather Perf seats! I had one perfectly fine passenger side set, and the driver top was good, but the bottom was ripped,
The new ones arrived Carmine Red perf in 10 -day from the date of the order Any secrets on getting the seat back mounted to the clips? [IMG]http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss8/LAPCO/772a8228.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss8/LAPCO/5a20dcb7.jpg[/IMG] |

Yea, the clips need to be pushed towards the center of the seat to release them. I made a tool that made it fairly easy to do.
Read this: http://www.corvette-guru.com/modules/ ... id=143150#forumpost143150 The link on my post here shows the tool. Have fun.  |

BILLH, thanks a gajillion!
I have battled this first for an hour and gave up, I will take the shell out of the car and die the shell black to look like new and then put the seat together, thanks again! |

I just saw this... Very nice! You will love those! I can't believe I have had my new Al Knoch seats for over eight years now. I guess they are not new seats any more.
 They have held up pretty good though with just some basic cleaning over time. The passenger seat still looks like day one. |

That looks hot! I may go back to solid red seats again too! that could be a project for next winter. I changed over from solid torch red seats to the two tone, and I think the solid red looks pretty dang good!

Thanks BG, I am going to spring for new carpet this winter when I have it painted, I figure that I will strip the interior out during the paint job and then put the new carpet in.

I actually wanted 2-tone but they were extra $$$ so after lots of going back n forth, I stayed stock.
I also considered the all black with Red stitching, I liked that too. I put some conditioner on them Sunday eve and it darkened up some too. |
