New 914 owner. I need to have seat inserts replaced and want to find out where I can buy the black stuff to match the pattern (stock) on the doors of a '74. Or as close as possible. Any Ideas?

Yep, Dr. Evil = San Diego. Great guy. Can recondition anything it seems. And do it very very well. Dr. 914, not so sure. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Well, I guess I will chime in on this since Dr. 914 has been mentioned. Automobile Atlanta also sells door panels and seat recovering kits.

Find the seat recovering here...

Door panels can be found here...

We currently have a 1976 white 914 with the red plaid material original to the car. It looks great in the car. Take a look!!! The fabric is still available, but not on the cheap side.

World Upholstry is great. I don't think they have the OEM materials though.

Wow, the tan basketweave looks just like the oem stuff.

Mueller, pop for the leather seat kits! Damn, now I am really happy about the leather seats I bought!

There is a site in the UK that sells the trick plaid material but I can't find the site.
