Recover your own seats.

I went through a vendor, Dantes? Maybe I was lucky, black '69 buckets, had them almost right away. Get a real pair of hog ring pliers and hog rings. Any farm supply store should have them.

Hog rings do vary somewhat.
I had a couple bags from Amazon that had a slight kink in the top. They were easier to crush and came out more round when going around a heavy wire on the frame.

If you can afford it, pay someone to do them. It’s hard to beat a man at his on game. Best money I ever spent.

Did mine front buckets about 1.5 years ago. Ordered from legendary, took 8-9 months to get them. I also ordered foam and the installation kit. I watched the legendary videos and a couple YouTube also. I took lots of pictures while taking them apart. A couple things: I switched the carpet to black and had some trouble getting some for the bottom of the doors because I didn’t order everything together. When I got the seat foam there was a bunch of scrap foam with them. Don’t throw it away. I should have put some extra in the edge of the insert area to fill it out more. They are fine the way they are but could have been just a little bit better. But my rear seats and door cards are all original and look decent. It’s just a driver. Oh and if you need seat backs order them at the same time as the cover too.

They look great.

Is the roundness better or doesn't matter?

 

[Bird 426]

Doesn't matter. Real hog rings are a little larger in diameter. For the cost and convenience for them at a farm store, hands down the way to go for me. They do have different sizes, think that I used the red box. One hundred rings for $4 or so. The pliers are inexpensive too.

Tractor supply sells what I need?
