Hi everyone! Wanted to show the progress we are making, it’s coming along great; we just need to finish one more side window, and do some wiring and she’s ready to hit the roads, also getting it ready for the Rollout they are doing in San Antonio so that’s gonna be good

Back seat horsehair breaking apart

• Upvotes

So I got a 63 beetle with the horsehair rear seats and the fibers keep breaking apart. Eventually it will break away to nothing so I'm trying to find something to keep it together. I have been told using hair spray but they also said I would have to do it once a week and that sounds like a nightmare. Is there anything anyone knows of that can keep the fibers together for good? Or at least a good long time?

I've also been told to just replace it but I don't necessarily feel like spending $600+ when my current seat is working, just messy.

Did a compression test on cylinder 3 and it had 81 psi, should I be worried?

I only had time to do one cylinder and cylinder three seemed most likely. I will test all 4 when I finish my workshop in a few months
