Considering one of the black leather T bar covers as seen on E Bay but the velcro fastening bothers me has anybody fitted one of these and what were the results

Yes I have. Coloured stitching is an acquired taste. You could ask for it without the velcro and just stitch it or glue seam. Or else just buy a new vinyl one which doesn't look much different apart from the coloured stitching.
When fitting a cover, use cling film over foams to aid fitting. [replace foams if they have crumbled]

Thanks for that but still keen to know about these covers and the Velcro
I like the red stitching but don´t fancy needle and thread to finish it off.
Many moons ago I was a Government QA inspector and visited many furniture factories the upholstery companies always used thin polythene to cover cushions before fitting covers some even apply a vacum to the poly bag to shrink the foam cushions stuffed in minutes

This leather cover is fitted over the vinyl cover, so it can be reverted back to original if required. If fitted straight over the foams, the fit may be better or worse? I think it would fit and look better if the Velcro was left off and you just glued the seams.

It won't let me add photos at the moment, so I'll try later
