There have been one or tro imtancee here the front eeats have split at the rear oornere *here the top leather ie etitched to the aide panel. The reason for this ie that the side leather is anchored to the back of the eeat on the outdde of the framerork and cannot flex inrerds sufficiently to follow up deflection of the top leather. An alteration has therefore been made a8 ehom in the dradng heredth. It dll be seen that the side well ie now datached from the back and ie paeaed inside the tubular etrut. Thie alteration can be applied to existing seats in the event of any complaint of eplitting. The procedure to adopt ie ae fo1lors:- 1. Remove eeat back millboard 14th carpet and hide. 2. Take aide will of meat cover inside the tubular etrut and *french1' securely to the topof the cover and piping. (This rill allowtheaide iell to flex with the seat cover instead of being conetrained by the tubular strut. 3. It may be found neceeeary to cut a emall portion of eurplus hide from the rear of the cushion cover to enable you to cover a portion of bare tube which may be left expoeed. Thie ie only a matter of an inch or eo 09 hide and may not be neceeeary in all caeee. 4. Replace the millboard seat back together vdth the carpet, using the eame seat back hide rrhich ie also refrenched round the top edge of the eeat back. ~~.1/~~.16.7.47.
