Well done Sir. Very clear. Thanks for taking the time to video.

When I removed my old covers I noticed that they were glued into the contours of the seat so I glued mine too. To make sure the head rest lined up I just slipped it into the hole while I was fitting things.

@Homebrew58 The original top of the seat foams is secured by glue to the top of the contour board, I would agree with you that the back of the foams are not secured to the back of the contour board through the seat. If you didn’t secure the seat foam, it would be a real challenge to line up your head rest slot with the top slot of the foam and seat cover. Thanks for the feedback.

I bought my MGB Roadster brand new and June of 73. The car looks like it's one to two years old and excellent shape and is completely all original. I'm just wondering what the car would be worth is I'm starting to consider selling it

I was recently preparing to do my MGB seats and found very few videos on it. Not gluing the upholstery to the foam was a big oversight. I suppose the poor outcome of those seats may have been due to him rushing while trying to make the video. Fit and finished was terrible, however I did like the 6 panel door / work bench!

After rereading you posting, if I understanding what your saying your saying that the seat cover is not glued down, and that would be correct. If you glued the seat cover, I don’t think it wouldn’t work anyway.

It is a long time since you made this video. The vinyl perforated seat covers look navy blue and I'm struggling to get some this colour. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@jimpotts558]

Why would you not glue the cover to the foam at the bottom seat contours?

[@Homebrew58]

You don't glue the cover into the contours of the foams?

[@nathanldunn]

Where did you get the new foam pieces and get them cut right?

[@MGB18001979]

Dude that's a great idea.

Hoping you've learned in the last 10 years how to shoot a video so we can actually SEE what you're doing. Also final result was kind of "meh."
