Tools Needed:
Electric Drill
9/32" bit (can use 1/4" just ream a bit larger hole)
Long Serrated Knife (about  8" long)
Small Diameter Phillips Screw Driver (to help line up parts)
Two 7/16" Wrenches (helps if one is a socket wrench)
Plus your regular tools to remove seat from cycle.

Step1: Lay Bottom T-Bar in place,  and mark holes.

Step 2: Drill 9/32” Holes in Seat Base.

Step 3: Mark center of seat, back 
1 1/2” from front of rear seat. 

 Step 4: Stick Boot in place centered over mark you just made on your seat. 

Step 5: With a long serrated knife cut hole through Boot and Cover, 1 1/2” wide, into foam, clearing foam from area where you just drilled in step 2.  Boot will keep you from cutting too wide.
