I contacted Autos International today, and they charge $325/ yard for hounds-tooth!
The rep suggested I buy two yards to recover stock 914 seats. Now maybe I am naive but you can almost buy a new seat in that price range. Is this just the price of entry with anything vintage Porsche that could be considered a restoration material? Any other known sources of this style material? Rant over.

If you have to have the correct material then Autos International is the way to go.
Autos did my seats. I asked them to use some material I bought 10yrs ago before the correct wool was available anywhere. The pattern is close, but its actually for a GM car. This stuff is more like $30/yd. 1-2 yards is more than enough to do the centers. It's an alternative, at least. Nothing is 'correct' on my car, so this was fine for me. http://www.smsautofabrics.com (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-2075-1407173357.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-2075-1407173359.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-2075-1407173781.1.JPG) |
