seat covers

[mcstockerg]

Hello there! restoring a 1986 t25 panel van. Anyone any advice on where I could get seat covers either original cloth or new leather a possibility? There's a bench seat and a a single seat? I'm in N. Ireland any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Gerard

Well, they'll cost an arm and a leg. The alternative is to remove them, unstitch them into their component parts and find someone happy to cut these pieces out of your chosen fabric and stitch them together for you. Most seem to opt for that. Worth picking up a sewing machine and learning - its a great skill to have.

A local upholstery place may be able to point you to someone who can assist you

I also have a syncro which will be getting the seats done at some point same as you single and twin.
