Got my new 100% leather seat covers for my 1980 today. Installed both seat backs on the old foam, no problem. When trying to install the seat bottom covers on the old foam, the install kit uses some twisted wires to hold down the padded part of the seat bottom, and hog rings to hold down the perimeter. How do I use the twisted wires? The hog rings and hog ring pliers work like a champ for the perimeter, but I can't figure out how to get the twisted wires to hook around the wires in the seat bottoms. Any help???????

you mean the wire clips?? that come in different sizes??

u need an install tool to pull them through the foam...

what you do is install a long metal wire in the seat "listing" (its a long long channel that u cut and insert the wire in..then make slits for the clips to attach too)

now u attach the clips... then u pull the clips through with the tool and latch them to the seat bottom wire....

after all the clips are attached you bend the leather outsides over the frame and attach the sides...

now you attach the bottom long wires with hog rings to the springs on the foam of the seat..
