Hi Mike

I make the seat piping if that's what mean from the vinyl in the picture, can you get a rear swb parcel shelf and I'll recover it for you no problem.

Always one or two kicking about :)

Trimming mostly early cars I was asked to apply hounds tooth to the seats from a 76S. Slightly different from the normal but a different way to put an early spin on a later seat :)

Having been at Garry's on a few occasions during the refurbishment of these seats I can only echo the comments above and say ... "You should have seen what he started with!" If you have any photos you should post them, mate.

These 'tombstone' seats are a lot more complex than earlier seats and consequently a right bu**er to do. That nice new trimming room heard a few new words in the past couple of weeks! Worth the effort though I'd say.
