The OEM cover does attach with clips on the front, but I've never seen an aftermarket cover that did this. If you end up using hog rings, you will need to be creative in how you clip to the frame in the front. If I had to guess why they went to hog rings, it was to make the cover more form-fitting and look better.

Sorry I left out the part about the burlap needing to be used also on the seat back, but I did say it just used a sheet of foam. The cover from USA1 was made to use these clips, the 67-68. The rest used hog rings. I went back thru my records on purchasing the seat bottom foam. It was just for the 67-68. My bad for assuming it was the same as the later seat bottom foam. I was told by someone that it was the same.
