Restoring the front seats now.. wow, what a pain tearing these seats apart. I can’t believe the time that must have went into building them... the weaving of the support wires, the rolled burlap edges looped into the ends of the wires? Crazy.
Dismantling
As far as dismantling, leave the two paper covered wires in place! The aim is to use these as a guide and hog ring point during reconstruction. Remove and save all the little support wires, including the two, long listing wires (running alongside the heavy, paper covered wires). The two listing wires can be immediately slid into the new sleeves on the inside of the new covers to keep track of them.
