Series MM seats
Hi. Don't want to invent the wheel at my age so has anybody got practical information on fitting Newton Commercial seat covers, as I believe they are very difficult to fit. (Newton Commercial state this themselves). I understand that the Series II and later seats are much easier to fit, so don't want to be confused as I definitely have the MM seats, and with respect don't want to be told not to attempt it as I am pig headed and going to anyway! So any information would be very welcome. Alan

Re: Series MM seats
I did mine a while ago , as long as you take note on how you removed the old covers taking photos and notes eg how the material was folded at the bottom of the seat back and in which order , do one at a time having the other one as a reference and you should be OK my seat sponge was well flatened and i cut new foam and filled all the pockets with it to give more body to the foam
Re: Series MM seats
Thanks Ian, much appreciated. Were your seats MM seats because I have no foam in mine just springs. Alan

Re: Series MM seats
mine were the later series mm seats so slightly different to yours but i still think if you are methodical about it you should manage. Don't Newton do a fitting service as a last resort but probably expensive and may be too far to travel for you to leave seats in.There may be someone else on here will be in touch having done your particular model of seats

Re: Series MM seats
Thanks for your comments Ian, but Newton have categorically refused to fit MM seat covers due to length of time it takes, they do fit Series II and onwards - but will have a go myself. Alan

Re: Series MM seats
The Series MM seats have sprung bases with horsehair padding but there is no reason why you should not add foam padding as required.
I bought two green cows and had mine done professionally, expensive but well worth it.
