Default Rear seat recovering.

I have just recovered the rear seat squab on my 401. Before I throw the old leather in the bin, is it any use, for anyone thinking of doing the same, as a pattern.

Yes, Bob, I need to replace a very poor recovering job that was done on my 401 at some point. I do not have original material. I will need to do the front seats too and I have been collecting photos of the seats. It is pretty hard to find a good photo of the original rear of the front seats.

Default Front seat images

In case it's useful, here are two images of 403 front seats - showing where the back stiffening panel shows through.

Hi Daniel.
If you let me have your address I'll send it to you. I'd be grateful if you would agree to pay the postal cost.
Bob
