  • Not too bad depending on how patient you are... Once you've plied the original cover off you have a nice template to work from (but cut an inch or so bigger anyway). Then there's a perfect gap between the hard plastic base and the foam backing on the saddle which you have to gently pry apart to push the leather down into. I used a tyre lever to do this (metal one) and that worked quite well. First time I was a bit ham-fisted though and snarled the leather a lot so it started to tear...

    The nose is a bit tricky as the rails are in the way of the area you really want to push the leather into...on the brightside, everything is quite tight once you do so I haven't actually glued anything yet and it's staying taught

    there is a nice leather shop near me that sells scrap sections extreamly cheap i may have to give this a try.
