Are there any places which sell seat cover kits in the standard nylon cord?
Thanks

Re: Seat covers
James 467 has on behalf of the club been researching what is available; the OE material is not, nor does anyone currently replicate seat covers unless you ask an automotive upholsterer to do so specifically.
James came very close with a corduroy type material, but I believe the supplier of the sample is now no longer trading. I expect he'll be along in a while to update us...

Re: Seat covers
Yes, basically what Alun said.
I have been searching for the correct material match, it's harder than it sounds! I did find a 99% match but as Alun said I found out that the supplier went bust when I tried to contact them about different colours.
I am still searching though.

Re: Seat covers
So if you find another supplier don't try to ask them about colours.... we don't want them to go bust too!

Re: Seat covers
My MGB GT has black cloth seats which are not exact but very similar to my Dolomite. They do them in black, navy and autumn leaf. So I assume whoever makes the MGB seat covers should be able to make Dolly seat covers. Probably all about numbers. My son is using the MG , when I see him I will take some photos and post them.
