Were you able to spot the "Big Mudcat" just as you entered the town ?

A 30 foot long statue in honour of the Towns' connection to the fish tied to the Towns' heritage with the Grand River

I will post a pic when l get back home

Oldminimover49, ware wolf, 
I visited with Abby today, case of Blue there at the ready.
Also found the original mini microcell lower seat brackets poorly mounted to the Honda seats I have been driving with. Going to try my hand at making some copy’s if only to have some for the Honda seats. Thanks again.

Ambassador bridge to Route 3 is my normal road to Kingsville or Leamington for ferry to Pelee Is. Allow me to apologize in advance to all the Canadians stacking up behind me, I cannot speed with US plates.   Thanks again Al, I will give her a call.

Onetim:

Contact her direct, Abby @ 905 774-9585

Remember, Highway, 3 East out of Windsor, 200 miles on #3 follow #3 into Dunnville, Hospital on the right, turn left on John St, go 2 blocks (north) pass over old railway tracks, (since removed ) and she is second house on the right 509 John St,Dunnville

Remember bring your passport, of course you probably have a GPS, so easy/peasy

And, NO, "I NEVER HAD SEX WITH THAT WOMAN"

You will like her workmanship

Well, if you are in no hurry and don't mind the drive, come 225 miles east to Dunnville, Ontario on # 3 Highway, ( East out of Detroit for 225 miles on #3)

My girl who has a small upholstery shop can do them, she works cheap and is as good as they get in the trade I have recommended countless mini guys around the Province to her and no one has been less than very pleased with her work-

Right now she is doing snow mobile work prior to their season starting up but she could do them by Xmas or at least by the end of January

And remember you are getting an automatic 26% saving using your U S Dollars, no tax either

Just bring her a 24 of Labatts when you pick them up , LOL

If you wish get a hold of me and l can work out the logistics

I am in the Detroit area, there are some good shops around, but they would have little to go by with these seats to return them to the proper look. And if spending to get them redone, I would sure want them correct. At a minimum I would think I need detailed photos of an original

Interesting, I'd put another vote in for Contour frames recovered. I can see what style they were aiming for (and I actually like it), but it was done so poorly. 

If you post your location, might be able to recommend an upholstery shop nearby. There are some great ones here in Southern California.

Tim,
where are you?  Someone local might suggest a shop near you.   You can search auto upholstery also.  And boat upholstery.

omg, i mean, i'm no expert but that seat is a piece of ..(i don't wanna say the word) ...by the looks of it. looks like a stuff toy that was washed inside a washing machine. ,looks horrible, i think they used hay instead of foam inside....i'd refuse to take it even if it's for free.......no offense meant, and i'm not too picky,,,it's just that my standards are very high...sorry!

advice: go to your local Upholstery shop and have them redone.

Yes they look horrible, and my back seat matches them.   There has been a vote for early contour 6 seats poorly redone, if true where in the US would you look to have them properly redone?

Look like 'granny seats' (no offense to Granny)...could they be Corbeau bases?

I am interested in knowing the brand of these seats, and can covers be purchased, or do they have to be made by a local shop. Thank you all and happy second thanksgiving.
