Just received some pics from autobahn of my recovered seats. Kinda excited to get these in the car.
I’ll post more pics once they arrive. This is the German Houndstooth (called Pepita, I believe), which was a much heftier material than the standard houndstooth. Attached thumbnail(s) |

This is the German Houndstooth (called Pepita, I believe), which was a much heftier material than the standard houndstooth. If it's the old school German fabric, yes it was called "Pepita" Rob, & will be a better & heavier fabric than the newer "Domestic" or other-country-of-origin fabrics. IIRC you can see it from the original dealer ordering documents as available on the 70-72 914-6s on Jeff Bowlsby's website Interior Fabric section. I've seen this inset done on both 914s & 911/912s by Autos International on a few SoCal cars, & it looks good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// I think I’ve seen that document on Jeff’s site. Autobahn sent me several samples. One was the ‘other’ houndstooth. It was amazing how thin it felt. It looked decent but I didn’t think it would wear well over time. I am looking forward to a cloth insert. While I do like the original basket weave, it’s a hot seat during the summer months here in Texas. And I usually only drive late in the evening or night! |
