Hi.
Yes it's me clogging up the forum again, but so thankful for your help so far.
June 52 standard.
I've located seat frames with springs, correct fabric and a trimmer I trust. however I dont have old seat covers to use as a pattern. Are there any templates available? or dimentions on the web? |

| The trimmer I gave you the details of, has the patterns/templates, or are you using somebody else? |

yes, it pays to use someone who knows what they are doing because split seats need to be done RIGHT or they will look like shit.

I have a guy in Wiltshire that I’ve used before. Quality is great and he’s fairly local. But without templates, I won’t risk it and will give your guy the business for sure. |

| He's not 'my guy', but somebody Rod Sleigh knows & recommended to me, who 1st did the seats for Rod's 46 Beetle, and because of the great work, I asked him to do my seats for the 47, which I'm more than happy with. |

If you mean "my fabric" i can offer the seatcovers also.
But not before BREXIT
