Im about ready to bolt my seats in. Its been a huge fiasco as my pans were so rotted that I had to do multiple repairs, nothing is level and there isnt enough room for sliders so I just welded/bolted in some 1x1 bar stock....anyways....
How on earth did you guys cover these seats? Im sticking to my 'budget conscience' build of this car, so I dont want to spend a ton. Are there any generic seat coves that will cover these seats and look almost normal?

Nothing that I am aware of that will fit the stock Bradley GT seats.

Any upholsterer should be able to make covers for them. Material choice will affect total cost. The guy I talked to about mine said he could make covers for them for about $150 foam included. Vinyl with cloth inserts. You may be able to use covers for the hi back bucket seats that are used in dune buggies, but I am not sure if they would even be close to fitting, just a suggestion. Or buy some foam, probably 2 inch thick, cut and trim to fit, spray adhesive it to the seats, and modify a store bought set of bucket seat covers. Or cover the foam with some mexican blankets like they do in a lot of the hot rods until they get the money to have the interior done.

The lay back seats most commonly available won't fit the Bradley seats. Here are some laybacks: www.bugsandbuggies.com/Parts.asp?CN=345&SN=77&GN=5I used them in my old Sterling:  Its hard to see, but the big difference is the way the Bradley seats tilt forward in the headrest. It makes it a much more comfortable seating position. You can see how well the seats fits here:  You might be able to get the layback seats and cut the headrest area and tilt it forward and re-glass and then use the stock covers. They are rather expensive though. |
