Westfalia interior covering material?

Post by pierce »

I wondered if anyone knows where to get somesomething similar to the covering material used in a westfalia joker.

its seems to be vinyl impregneted grey material (wipe clean) and it covers the rear doorcards and walls.

Standby for one of the best pictures to ever appear on 80-90

Your most likely UK source is probably http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/

I have requested some samples hopefully they will ge a close enough match to allow me just to replace the bits that I need to.

The samples arrived today, infortunately, the weave was much too fine.

Back to the drawing board. I cannot belive that a similar cream and grey basket weave material is not avaliable.
