I live in FL and 914 "leatherette" vinyl is HOT and most unforgiving in 90+ degree heat. It's like sitting on a hot griddle when getting into the car. I'd like to find some period-correct seat covers for summer, either OG or replicas, or something that would look period-correct.
PS the wooden beads slide too much and can puncture the vinyl. And suggestions on what to fet and where to get them are most appreciated. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I've seen these sheepskin seat covers in Hisashi's '72 Willow Green 914. They look so nice, I've tried to get Hisashi to sell them to me, but he (wisely) has refused. Unfortunately, I don't know who makes them, and the pictures below really don't do them justice. But notice in the link to the old 'for sale' thread that the car came from New Mexico. Overland is a very high end sheepskin manufacturer that used to be headquartered in New Mexico. Maybe, just maybe, that's the manufacturer of Hisashi's sheepskin covers. And if it is Overland, you can get them to do custom 914 sheepskin seat covers for the princely sum of $749 per pair.

Found some other tailor-made sheepskin covers for a lot less than $749 Overland pair for those interested (same Australian Merino sheepskin). Still looking at these and other sheepskin and other period-correct options. Any other suggestions?
