Oh dear, all this talk about seat covers, I guess it's time to replace my current seat with the electrical tape over a few of the seams with the almost 100% perfect original seat I bought two years ago and have stored in the basement-of course I suppose as tuf as these Vision's are I will need to pull this post up in a few years and see how to replace that ;D seat cover!

Well I put the spare seat on Sunday, it sure looks nice and appears it will be more comfortable then the one I took off (that had already been recovered once by our former ROV member in Kansas who I think has since sold off his Vision).

In some ways I almost hated putting it on as it is in such great original shape, I will never find such an original seat again! But, hell, time to wear it out.

Put my manometer on Sunday also, happy to say that was probably a waste of time, Although I messed with it for awhile they were so close I don't know that I improved on the syn at all when I was done.

I also cleaned off my battery terminals as I had one day a strange dead spot, they were getting abit dark and certainly could have momentarily lost contact, they are shiny now. 

Have the Vision at work today, it ran great this morning!

I used the same material when I re-did the cover of the F4i seat.

Replacement


I gave away all my extra black material and the other day I found a cigarette burn on the Vision's seat so now I need to go back to get more.
