Has anyone got a good close up picture of an original Tow'd seat? Better yet does anyone know someone who makes the snap in seats for the Tow'd? Mine are not there at all....just the snaps and a strip of vinyl.... Thanks, VIC

They're just roughly rectangular foam pads (the lower ones narrow toward the front) covered with vinyl and/or fabric. There is an extra strip across the top back edge which has snaps that attach it to the body to keep it from sliding down or falling forward. The shape of the body will keep the lower pads in place, but snaps (or velcro) are a good idea there too.

That is a nice looking Tow'd! Thank you for answering. I am a first time builder and think I will be rebuilding mine just like it was when first built. Nothing fancy, to suit my level of workmanship. Except I am going to try to license it for the road and here in Pa., it will have to meet more than a few "must haves" to get a title and license. I was wanting them to look like original. I live in a very rural area, no upholstery shops at all. Any suggestions? You guys are the best, at helping out! VIC

Here are the PRP seats and their belts. snaps on top-bottom of back rest, front-rear of bottom cushion. They stay put until you unsnap them.
