After one other failed covering method, I ended up skinning my seat frames in .025 6061. I rolled the edges over to perfectly fit the 3/4" tubing, drilling, and pop riveted them.

Front seats
To do:
- Replace the track nubs with bushing type
- Add doublers to the seat skins at high stress areas.
Rear seats
One issue with the rear seat is the large area of the seat back, which I skinned with lighter .020" 6061, is that it drums easily. I was thinking of using a punch/flare tool to add some lightening holes, which may have the effect of tightening and stiffening the seatback.
