ps naively thought it would come with straps or something? not sure what i was expecting for £10 but the cat has made a bed of it in the spare room

Local haberdashers: couple of metres of 3/4" elastic and a metre or so of 3/4" velcro, a few strong needles and some strong black thread.

From your toolbox: needle nose pliers

Take seat off, place sheepskin on seat, work out which bits need trimming (it'll be too big), trim to fit.

Flip seat over with sheepskin still in place, work out where elastics would be best placed (I used two side to side and one nose to tail), mark positions on back of sheepskin.

Sew elastic straps onto the sheepskin with velcro closures sewn into the middle of straps.

It's tough to sew through the sheepskin - you'll probably need to use pliers to push the needle through (unless you've got a sailmakers palm).

It's a tedious job (especially when you're doing the pillion too ) - I sewed it in front of the telly.

Or send it to me and I'll do it for you for £50

From the haby I bought 4 x clips as found on a pair of braces and aforesaid elatsic. Cut 2 pieces of elastic and sew onto the clips. One strip of elastic runs from from to back and the other from side to side. Simples......
