Don't hesitate to ask if you have any question.
If I can help it will be a pleasure.

Hi everybody,
As promissed, i'm posting the test results.
I finally got my BOSTITCH T6-80C2 (take note that PC8000/T6 looks very similar but staples straight, so for that kind of job do not use PC8000):

I ear some people complaining that such a staple guns doesn't work at all and that is a pure bullshit.
I think they were not using it propely. or Maybe the product was poor quality.
I had some test and works perfectly:

But you have to take care to be in a flat contact, I mean not not pressing with a corner, and you have to ensure the you are strongly compressing the foam during staple shot.
If the foam is not strongly  compressed the staple open before entering the foam and it is like you have done nothing.
:)

Thanks a lot Doyle!!
I'll keep you posted.
Here are some pictures I hope they acn bee seen

I'll show you how BOSTITCH stapler works once I'll got it.
Cheers.

@baileyuph:
yes I did it all including car body (metal shaping and paint) and mechanical rebuilding.
I'm finalizing it, I just need to end the 2 front seats (back are done) and replace the convertible top fabrics.

For the front seats back rests, Factory directly stapled the leather  on foam. I'm restoring the car as originally. That's why I was looking for same procedure.
I've tried to upload a picture but unfortunately it fails.
Thanks to all for your help.

Thanks a lot to all for your help.

I have found the right tool it is Bostitch T6-8OC2 Outward Clinch Stapler

@ Doyle it is a BMW E30 (325i convertible) from 1989.

@kodydog : No it is leather to Foam as originaly. It is the backrest of a car seat.


@SteveA : what it a  plier style stapler? Would you have a link to a  plier style stapler deller web page?

Thanks to all.

How all.
I'm glad to be a new member of that forum.
I would need some help to succeed in making the staples not to enter strait in the foam but I would like the branches to open aside.
I'm using SENCO LNS3215E  stapler feed with  16mm Senco MP08 staples.
See the pictures below:



Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance to all.
