pre98 arm rest RE-coverwith leather

[dlphnfn]

I've looked at the Redline covers, but for PT interior I'd like a better match. Now I have a donor seat back to use as the new skin. I took it to my local upholstery shop and he said he wouldn't touch it. The foam is "blown in" so he'd destroy it try to get it apart.
WTF? Don't you just need the black plastic "pan" part of it? The you put on new foam and then the leather??
Anyone have steps on how they were able to get the Redline cover on? Maybe I'll look into doing this myself.

Redline covers go directly over the factory cover + foam. You don't remove anything. It wraps over, tucks in, then ties to secure it. If done correctly, no one would have a clue the original cover is under.

OK, thanks man.
Does anyone have a pic of the install or the cover before install? Maybe I can mimic that setup. I'm going to go around Des Moines tomorrow looking for a place that will at least try.

The stock armrest came in leather too. Ask me how I know....

Yeah, I've seen those, but never for sale. I thought I'd take it upon myself to make one.
