Help with 67 Satellite Legendary bucket cover and foam.

[64SF]

Am recovering the buckets with legendary covers and legendary foam. My question is the listing wire in the seat bottom. The old foam had grooves molded in the foam for the listing wires attachment to zsprings. The new molded foam has no molded grooves. Do I cut the grooves in for attachment? Or no attachment of the center listing wires?

Are you sure there cut for the wire or did the wire cut into the foam? how deep are the cuts when I did my seats I cut a piece of thin card board in the shape it needed to be and put it in between the foam and wire so that wouldn't happen again. maybe my seats are built different?

I recovered the seats on my '66 Charger last winter. I got new foam from Legendary also. Yes, you will have to cut the slots for the listing wire. Instructions for the foam said not to cut completely threw the foam. I tried that but once the cover was on I couldn't find the listing wires to hog ring to the springs. I took off the cover and cut the slots in the foam all the way threw. Then I was able to hog ring the listing wires to the seat springs.
I measured the distance between listing pockets on the seat cover, mine were 6" apart. then I found the center of the foam and and laid out lines to cut for listing wires.



When I put the cover on I used 3 small wires around each of the listing wires while they were in the pockets on the cover. When the cover goes on I poked the small wires threw the foam slot and burlap that cover seat springs. Once the cover was hog ringed around the edges I used a small vice grip to pull the listing wires tight to the seat springs then they were ringed.
You can see the wires poking threw the burlap here.
