I'm looking into having these made, Unfortunately, the minimum quantity is about 500 yards. I can do all 3 if I do this. The average car would take about 3.5 yards in door cars, dash, and both seats. I can do the materials only, and or process these into seats. So it's not too much of a stretch to make this work. The tooling is in Germany, so there will be some shipping involved. If I can get this quantity the cost should be about $35 a yard. I need to look at about 1/2 of the material being committed to do this. The question is can I get about 72 people committed at relative cost of $120? This pattern has not been available for some time in these colors.
So Who's interested? |

If you take a look at Jeff's documents, it's called "basketweave" regardless of the year or pattern. "Brick mold" or "brick weave" is not used to describe either pattern, though one could argue the early pattern is much more brick like than the later, square pattern.
Click image to enlarge: Bug sites like GoWesty, JBugs, and TMI call the later 75-76 pattern "square weave." I agree with that naming convention. This seems most appropriate because that's exactly what the pattern looks like ... a square weave: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.tmiproducts.com-12234-1441695162.1.jpg) |
