View Full Version : Leather Seat Supplier?
I'd like to wrap the center console top in the same leather as the seats. Does anyone have a source for the leather so it matches the seats?
Thanks

I saw on another post that this is the supplier of the seats, maybe they can help.

I bought a hide from this eBay seller:

I did my console and door cards with about 1/2 a hide. The quality is great and the grain a very good match to the seats.

Yeah, that’s a good point, Dave. It doesn’t have to be the same supplier. I went to the same upholsterer as Dave did, but I picked the leather from what they had on hand and I can’t tell the difference.

I really like your transmission tunnel cover. Did you assemble that yourself, have it made, or is that something a vendor sells?

Yes to all of the above! The aluminum is the FFMetal piece. It's a bit thicker than the one that FFR ships with the kit and it doesn't have any holes in it. That allows you to put things where you want them. The leather was from the eBay seller I posted above and I had it upholstered at a local shop. The ring is the FFR ring, but I did install nutserts so I could simply attach it from the top side. The boot is a leather boot for an Audi TT I bought on eBay dirt cheep.

Very nice job on the tunnel and side panels. Did you do the work yourself ? I may need alittle instruction on the tunnel. I was thinking of doing a similar setup for the tunnel.

Tunnel was done by a local upholstery shop and the door cards by Herb Fraser (CobraHerb), one of our vendors.
