Hi all,

i've chanced on this captains seat, whcih will be a massive improvement on the seats fitted!

the material has a greenish / grey tinge

many thanks

Use the 'Quote' button on your original post and you will see the picture(s) http addresses have too many [img] etc around them.

Then use the 'Quote' on my post and you will see all that I did was reduce the [img] to one pair for each picture.

So now you can E D I T your post in the 'Wanted' forum :wink:

Dont profess to know much about interiors and certainly dont own an anorak BUT.......... :mrgreen:
looks like an Autohomes etc retrim as opposed to OE. Havent seen exact material AFAIK but seen some very similar on Autohomes/Komet type conversions.

Cheers Elvis,

i'm sure you don't even own an anorak, maybe just a flask and satchel bag?

thats brill, one question though, whats the OE refer to?

i can maybe focus on autohomes or komet stripping for spares etc, still going to be a longshot though

many thanks

aaah, i see, never seen that before.

does that mean it wasn't something widely used? its going to make sourcing one even harder!

as Micky says , OE (when you see it on ebay/websites etc) usually means it was made/fitted/used by VW say.

I would go on ebay and look at vans for sale, as previous, komet/autohomes/holdswroth etc. Any bone fide UK 'camper convertor' and look at material.
They look to well made to be joe blogs at home on the old singer and if you look at komets etc (and no disrespect to any owners) it has the same god aweful nasty 80s feel about it, some Komet ones i have seen look like charity shop reject sofa material :mrgreen: :ok

Fortunately (or not) they do come up due to usual tin worm issues.
