Thanks Klee27X, I 'll give it a try....I looked at the picture you linked to.....and thought, dang I have a seat that looks just like that one and he had the same problem I did.
Thats what happens when you stay up all night writing a paper, then wake up early to proof read it....

here the post i did when i redid my seat has poics and all.
out with the old in with the new - VFRworld Photo Gallery

 

nicely done....I like the dog giving you r work the "smell" of aprroval

you had the same issue with the wrinkling that i did.yours isnt as bad...did you use leather of nuagahide?

 

paleather i pulled mine very tight and made lots of small cuts to get it close to being right. when in the sun it helps to get the wrinles out

 

Hmmmm...I wouldn't mind recovering mine and maybe adding some padding under there.

What would you use for padding under the leather?

 

Personally, I'd buy some high density polyurethane foam. If you just want to add some padding, I'd buy a thin sheet, like 1" or thinner, cut it out, and glue it on with polyurethane glue like Gorilla glue. Recover it before the glue starts to expand. For any detailed shaping, you need to buy/make a hot wire foam cutter.
