Hello. I looking for a speedster seat pattern or some old upholstery so I can make a pattern. If you are recovering your seats, can you sell me the old upholstery?

Cost= open/fair

bt,
I'm having my seats redone as we speak. I have to stop by the upholsterer on Monday I'll see if he still has the old stuff. If he does, it's yours.

Bad news guys. I went by the upholsterer today and he didn't have any of the old stuff left. If it's any consolation he said it didn't come off very easy so it got all torn up and wouldn't have been useable anyway. Sorry.

If you can't get old set for pattern --- I guess I could trace on paper for you - appears that both are identical.

ohhh man - that would have saved me hundreds of dollars. It would be great to trace them, add some sort of scale and post them in the library.

I'd love to get a template too - just in case. My seats costs me a penny and if i had the pattern - would have been a lot less.

I'd love a pattern too. I have a set of seat shells, but no foam or covering. I'll watch the ebay set, but I would guess it will end up expensive.

I have one black cover. (Don't know why there were three) I got $40 for the other ones. So you can get it for that plus shipping.

Gary can you give me a couple of days, I might be buying some seats(one uncoverd with the vinyl) from Gordon.

If not, I understand.

PS if I get the seats from Gordon I will upload the pattern here for everyone.

If I could somehow get hold of some samples of the foam and covering I would be happy to make cad files and post them. The set on ebay went for a fair price, but I was not in on the bidding....

If some one could get a scale pattern for the seat covers, I have access to some pretty high end wide format printing equipment. I would be happy to print them out and put them in a mailing tube.

BT,

I have put the Speedie on hold while finishing the Super Beatle. I am still interested in the pattern if you can do the deal. The jeepster has needed some work, also. BUT I am committed to get on with my project. I got some GS flares from IM and am measuring those for fit etc.

Thanks,

GG

I've been looking for 1/2" or 1/4" graph paper to copy pattern too -- we used to have flip chart paper at work with the grids but current stuff is plain white. I'll keep looking -- or use the big plotter to make graph paper (just seems wrong).

I got the seat cover from Gary(a few months ago). I will start cutting it up. If someone knows how to plot, vector, graft or whatever is the correct term is please post.

Its blk vinyl and I will remove the stiching and trace it on some graph paper. If there is a better/different way please post.

I have original CMC covers and foam. I am having seats done in Aclantara for the new build right.

No problem to make a pattern for all to use and will advise when I return home.

I don't like the look of the single piece of vinyl to sit on - it always looks like its wrinkled from butt marks. Seems if there was a side to side seam 5-6" back from front where the foam rises they would fit and look better.
