Remember when round wood bead seat covers were the craze back in the 70's? I started thinking about them and wondered if they could work on a bench seat. A quick search revealed that there are a lot of them still being offered. The issue is that they are designed for bucket seats. I did find one that looks like it would fit nicely on a bench seat but the seller claimed it was for a bucket seat because of the elastic band to hold it in place. Are any of you using one of these and how does it work for you. The one in the picture is $36.00 for two with free shipping. The width, which didn't show up in the picture, is 16".

I would saddle blanket before beads. Note, my idea of riding a horse is twisting its ears to make it go. No offense to our western members. lol

wow - what a cool question, I remember those and hadn't thought about them for ages!

Maybe we should have an "8 track repair and upgrade" thread also - maybe we already do ?...

While they say bucket seats, I bet it would sit just fine on a bench seat

I don't think we do. I've got an under dash 8-track player I would love to put back into use, but it has needed a new belt since I got it in the 90's.
