Got mine at Harbor Freight. Straight and angled pliers. Cheaper than the seat cover vendors.

I found them at a local hardware auto supply store here in BC. Some glass shops will have the hog rings and might be persuaded to sell some rings to you.

I got them at Halford Hide and Leather in Edmonton.  They sell all sorts of supplies for prepping animal hides, etc.

How many rings do you need to complete the front and rear seats

Man.....   I think that I used at least 50 per piece.  Just pull out an easy piece like the rear back and count how many are there. I remember that they are spaced about every 5 or 6 inches. Buy Many!

I would buy at least one pack of 50 for each seat.. the back seats take about 40 for the top and 40 for the bottom give or take.. so get another 100 for the back seats..  200 should do the whole car with some left over.
