I found a company that supplies original 944 seat fabric

Might be of interest to some of you out there

I've been looking to get my drivers seat retrimmed as its holes badly and taken to several retrimmers up in scotland who told me i had no chance of ever getting
a match for my original interior.

Well i just found a company in norfolk over the net who can supply original 944 fabric.

Its not cheap at £79.00 a metre (a metre needed per seat)

Sorry if this already widely known about on the forum

i tried southbound but they never got back to me. I will give these boys a call. I need a metre of blue pin stripe as the bolster on drivers seat is worn but all else is tip top full width cloth on sports seats.

Thanks, that's not one I'd seen although there are a few suppliers out there. £79 per metre isn't dear, you can pay three times that and the seats do last well over 100K miles.

Just to pre-empt all the owners, three at last count, of Celebration Luxes; the Studio Check pattern in the picture isn't your unique grey version of the Silver Rose tartan. This is still unavailable, and will be unless someone makes a batch. That would be a whole lot more than £79 per metre! [&o]

Also available from http://www.werk924.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26. Supplied NLA 924 Turbo decals which are remanufactured to OEM specs not simple laser cut vinyl as found from others.

It's great that this stuff is available. This reminds me of my old 911SC, who needs drugs when you have this to sit in:

Hi
I have a celebration 944 which is pretty mint everywhere apart from the usual drivers bolster.
If the other owners were interested I could be up for getting a small run of fabric made. Depends on how much it would cost of course.

This was discussed before, and it was in the £000s. Your fabric was only fitted to 30 cars, so finding enough owners to split it between would be the real challenge. Just get a set of leather seats, it'll save a fortune!

I can back this up. I dealt with Newton Commercial a few years back to help them remanufacture parts for the MK1 Golf. We (the club) asked for GTI seat cloth to be remade but the minimum order quantities were so vast they would just never get in to profit. That's based on a car with hundreds still around in original state, if you've only 30 then I'm afraid you have little chance. It's a shame really

EDIT: That was for the Series 2 GTI striped cloth btw, not the cheque stuff in the link above

I am really tempted to put a Pascha interior in - I loves it!

 

[colin944]

THis is the one you are looking for simkin

 

[944Turbo]

The pascha still looks pretty good in this one http://www.gmundcars.com/cars/813/924lux.html

I have a set of early sports seats with mint brown leather backs, but very sorrt berber facias. Ive been tempted to get them covered in brown Pasha; although brown script would be more sensible, perhaps.

This is the only firn Ive seen doing the green tartan, which was common in 924 Turbos.

Spot on Colin. Many thanks. This is what I had in mind. (ps - you can use my forename if you wish!). Steve.

 

[colin944]

I put a mark on this one as I will have to buy a bit of cloth myself.Would still love to do full pasha though.I didn't want to use your name for security reasons.

 

[944 man]

Does simkin911 work for the government?

 

[simkin911]

No, I don't. I prefer my current pension arrangement []

 

[944 man]

So: Im not blowing your cover by calling you Steve then...?

[simkin911]

I only time I operate undercover is if pretend I have a clue about the mechanical workings of a 944. []
