I am posting this for a friend who has a JBA Falcon and lives in Essex.

Is there anyone out there (preferably locally) that knows of a sewing machinist who could
(1) do some sewing machining work
(2) is interested in doing the work.

He has made a bench type seat which is a bit like the old MG TC seat and is now ready to be covered. He has already bought all new foam and vinyl . Because it is of an"old school style" the seat pattern he wants is of a traditional simple pattern by comparison to modern seats. He only wants the covering material machined he will then fit the covers to the seats himself.

So if anyone knows of someone who may be able to help, he would be very grateful.

P.S Alternatively if some one has an old suitable sewing machine they wish to sell, again please let me know

Thank you.

Try Wave House in Heybridge near Maldon (it's just by the bridge on the river) - I've used them a couple of times in the past and they've always been helpful and friendly.
