As some will know i have just had some soft bits made up for my car. I cant praise Anthony enough for them so here is a shameless plug. I have no business connection with him - just an extremely satisfied customer.

I supplied templates for what i wanted and he made them up. All fitted perfectly and his prices are amazing.

His Mobile is 07894118419

He is based near to Bishop Auckland - Co. Durham but will mail out no probs.

He charged me £35 each for seat pads, £10 each for headrests and tunnel cover only £50. If you ever see the template for the tunnel cover you will see why im so amazed - it is sculptured around the seats as they are tight up to the sides. i supplied the piping and handbrake metal bit plus old gaitors as templates.
I could have extra pockets etc etc as well if i wanted.

3 Seats have double foam for leg support and a bit extra as a lumbar support. Basically he will do whatever you ask for pad wise. Headrests are extra and optional.

He now has templates to suit Westfield race setas and the Mac#1 supplied seats that i have (the old type).

Ignore the wrinkly bit at the top of the pad - this is better when i take care to align the shoulder pad bits better in the seat.

4 He made a new open top pocket for me and stitched in the other one to the left of it.
Gaitors all new although i supplied the handbrake bit.

I know im getting soft as i age gracefully. All quickly removable though for those trackday moments are drying out should i need to.

Forgot to add - he has a day job (trimmer by trade) so being a hobby usual patience rules apply. Having said that my bits were all ready within a week.

A week!! Blimey.
Guess he didn't do it by hand!!!!

I did 6M of wing piping by hand for my tunnel top. Took me blooming ages!! I worked out I could do about 1M an hour!!! (it was backstitch through thick material with a small stitch length though....)...

Looks nice

All made by hand to my templates (does a sewing machine still qualify as by hand??)

He did the 2 seat pads by hand in one night (special favour so ready for Newark). Head rests and extinguisher cover in 2 nights. The transmission tunnel cover was actually 7 days total, but he was waiting for new foam order for 5 of them. Only the trans tunnel cover is piped across the top. i could have had seat pads done with piping as well but didnt feel the need.

that's amazingly quick even when cheating and using a sewing machine

Now I also cheat and using a 1901 Singer hand-cranked sewing which means

my new sewing is not sewn by hand but sewn using a sewing machine by hand

Why did you need to make a Fire extinguisher cosy!!!!

caber

Very nice seats !!!
