swilton325is Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi Guys, Can anyone point me in the right direction or recommend me to a Repair & Restoration Service? My drivers seat has had it and it needs fixing. would also consider new interior for the right price. Would appreciate any help thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Depends on the area, but there are normally quite a few places who do it. I was quoted to do my seat bolster, as its got a few marks on now. Think it was around £100 or something near that. But you could probably get a new interior for around £300 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I've got a similar looking hole in my bolster and the cheapest I got quoted was £350! I only paid £80 for the whole damn interior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 He means a new complete leather cover for the seat just remove the old one and fit the new I have seen them on eBay before so might be worth a try, there are diys around for it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 You can buy just the leather cover for the seat. You'll need some new hog rings and the correct tool, but you seat will be brand new. Not actually that pricey from the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the correct tools and would it be worth doing it if you had no experience? from Cloth to leather would be sweeeeeet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilton325is Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi Gaz, See following website, i have just been to see the guy and its a very small workshop in Bristol. He seems to think it will be better to replace both sides of the bolster, inner and outer..Guys name was Chris, if you contact them tell them i gave you the details and maybe he will be interested in doing a few seats.. just a thought. http://www.krychtrimming.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
