Simon Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I'm currently looking for a black interior for my project. On a bit of a budget... Anyone got a good used set of seats, side section trim and door panels? If not can you just recover the door panels and get a good finish? Where is best to get a new carpet, or any seat covers I see the club don't sell anything for these? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Danbury do carpet sets but there were odd comments around about delay in supply e bay list a few, chris witor has some diaphragms and seat parts , places like quiller show loads of seats , I tried to refoam mind and for once failed never removs the seat foam from the cover its glued everywhere and it wrecks it stick to adding foam between diaphragm and the underside or the original seat backs used new pirelli webbing and fought the design which is a carry over from the typewriter Loads of wires and bungy cords to play with pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juppy Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Simon, Other than carpets from a couple of suppliers nobody produces trim for the 2000 range unfortunately as the numbers are low it is not viable. Newtons would do seat covers if I supplied them with examples to copy but would want assurance of numbers that we would sell which of course we can't give. A viscious circle I am afraid. However as the prices begine to creep up the situation should become slightly less bleak with luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 as the rebuild of my drivers base turned sour i fitted Alfa 156 seats used by a good few in 2000/2500 they dont fit as exact swap as some seem to manage but need a shallow rectangle section tube to mount them as the seats and floor are a round 10mm out of line some reckon you just whack em in ....i fitted a spacer much firmer and less armchair seating but well comfortable Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanT Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 The lady that did my seats also does covers, but again the issue will be the pattern and again cost will be a big factor, she ain't cheap! Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
