Seat recovering

(1/3) > >>

Crispy:
Hi Guys, just a quick query! I'm about to recover my K1 seat, base is good, powder coated, all the spikes are there and sharpened!  I've recovered a seat before using contact adhesive  that went well but I've never used the spikes before. Question is which method would you use, if spikes..any tips?
Thanks.

If spikes are good I would use them and no need for adhesive. With the spikes you can remove again easily. Just my 2p worth

Laverda Dave:
I'm with Ash on this. Just use the spikes. The adhesive will only be as strong as the sub base it is stuck to. If the powder coat flakes at any time the adhesive will cone away with it.

Does the K1 also have a riveted trim strip near the edge? With that and the spikes you'll be fine. I found it best to do my 500/550s on a warm day.
Also does K1 have a rubber strip over the bottom edge?

Yes I had forgotten about the trim strip until I looked back at some before pictures..it has a protective strip over the bottom edges of the seat pan..just to protect the cover from wear...but cheers guys I will use the spikes ..just checking with you before I went for it! :)
It's red hot in my conservatory today with that and the wife's hairdryer to hand I might as well crack on with it.
