Hi Ant,

I used vinyl warmed with a hairdryer & glued direct to the tube,

it needs a bit of pulling & stretching to get avoid wrinkles.

 

Note to self, must try that on my face...

I used very thin edge trim on the metal crescent shaped parts. Behind the seats I used RH carpet and carried that round onto the crescent chassis member glued on and trapped under the beaded edge. Looks neat.

For the side covers I used a plastic waste pipe split along its length, covered with thin foam used to underlay laminate flooring, and glued vinyl to thattucked into the slit. Spread the slit over the top tube and the side panel, the plastic tube goes right ropund the chassis tube and is a tight fit and won't come off. No need for visible screws. For the crescent covers I used foam pipe laggingcovered in Vinyl shaped at each end to go around the chassis tube and my boot cover and fixed with copious quantities of velcro. Works really well. I could take photos if anyone wants to see.
