seat cover question

Mick · Post by **Mick** » Sat Jun 30, 12 7:15 pm

I'm just fitting seat covers and they are held on by these little rings.
Just wondered if i should use these again or buy new and do i just use regular pliers to put them on.

You can reuse them if they don't break in the process. I found it a lot easier using the correct hog ring pliers.

You can get em easy enough Mick, look on eBay or even go to a local craft shop or get a woman to go in for ya, I do cos all the arts and crafts women scare me Bananarama!

Seeing as you are a tight northerner, a set of long nose pliers and patience and pinched fingers are the order of the day

Hog ring pliers are around £15 and the rings are about £10 it makes the job a pleasure.

Too true, I was even worse and made my own Hog rings out of heavy duty copper

I've been looking at the pliers on ebay, there's about ten different types, 1 pair look just like long nose pliers.
What makes them so mucg better ?

If you need to loan some hog ring pliers I'll post my ones up to you and you can give them back to me at the Nats, then all you have to do is get some hog rings.......................

The hog ring pliers here on ebay are the same as the ones I have...............
