Am curious to know if there's a supplier for the insert vinyl used in our S-3 seats? The actual material, by the yard kind of supply. My gut tells me it's going to be an English Ford kind of thing. Anybody have insight?

TIA!

I know Mick Miller can get hold of this stuff. There are also numerous other classic trim suppliers who may be able to get it as well. Depends on which side of the pond you are?

got mine done in the exact same stuff.......turns out that it was made in germany...from an local trimmers......quite easy to get apparently...and now harder wearing than the original stuff too........
cheers

take care.. if you want the exact original pattern it's not that easy...
the copies are usually a different spacing on the welds in teh seat! also some have the welds all the way up to the top...

What's the quality of CN's seat covers. In the old days (late 80's) his parts were either very good or very....?

CNs covers...

well, they did fit, the quality was at least as good as the ones I took off, but they were a bit 'baggy', I had to remake and pad the foam to make the covers sit nice and snug, it is hard work, but even my father thinks they look good now...that is saying something !

the vinyl is known as Alambra by stockists by the way
