Recovering the Heinkel Seat

The seat rest came with the scooter the previous owner put it on. I did not like how it was attatched so I remade it. It was from a Vespa Rally

Making the new wood seat board

Shaping the cut outs

Installing the backrest

Adding extra clamps for strength

Making sure it fits

Cutting the fabric

Sewing

Base is complete. I added the smooth fabric under to allow the cover to go on easier

Tacking the fabric on

Base is done

Seat rest new wood

Slipping on the cover

That is how I added the Vespa Rally BBQ rack. Notice how the bracket has been flipped on my installation to the Heinkel.
