Use these. Drive them with a 1/4" hex driver in a VS driver drill. Easy-Peasy!

The factory staples I took out were 20/22 ga 1/4" leg x 3/8" wide. The staples I'm putting back are 18 ga. 1/4" leg x 3/8" wide, using a T50 gun.

Mine will be just a lil heavier duty. It's what I have in stock.

I forgot to mention, lots of the seats I've worked on were shaped such that you really couldn't get the nose of a T50 staple gun in where you needed to to get things neat and tight. The screws solve that problem.

As promised here's the finished seat. All trussed up like thanksgiving turkey.

I used a cheap pneumatic Arrow stapler. Very simple. Now I want to do more seats!

Finally got my 21" spoke wheel and new tire on the Lowrider this morning. I know I'm old fashioned, but I still like a little chrome, lol.

Lol. I know NVNobody. I actually tried to remove it but the screws are stripped by previous owner. I am going to remove the whole mounting bracket tomorrow. I’ve had enough Easy Rider.
