Title: Seat cover material
Post by: zahc on August 18, 2020, 03:16:22 PM: You know how most dirt bike, bicycle, and tractor seats are made by stretching fake leather material over foam and then stapling it to the plastic or wood base?

What is the cover material called and where can I buy it? I need to re-cover some seats and make some knew ones.

In a search that is sure to add me to some new lists, Google led me to here:
