Harness hole trim for GTS seats?
I need to place an order with Woolies ( http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk ) so which is the best edge trim to get for around the harness holes?
I presume the seat edges are OK uncovered?

Best to do the seat edges as well - you can always take it off later if it doesn't look good, but it'd be a pretty bone thing to fail SVA
on for the sake of a few quids worth of edging trim!

These are the wholesalers that supply woolies et al, they own the tooling.
Baines, tunbridge wells
Page 99 U shaped rubber with steel reinforcing (eps9's the stuff), comes in a few sizes all @ £1.11 per metre.
U shaped rubber
Also do ribbed floor mat etc, you will not find this stuff any cheaper !

Have a word with Cobra and they will supply the proper 2 part mouldings specially designed for harness holes. 
Cheers,

GTS as in Darren as in GTS Tuning, not GTS as in Cobra GTS seats
Unless you're saying that Cobra somehow do one which fits the seats Darren sells?

If you have a look at most seats they tend to use the same moulding - mine are Ultima seats and they fit. Not sure about your seats though

Most seats these days (apart from the Ultima ones it seems) appear to have trianglar('ish) shaped harness slots, never seen any with
"proper" plastic inserts in them. Even Caterham's version (Tillett) doesn't 
Rubber edge trim is the way to go.

I "might" be able to get hold of a lot of edge trim at VERY good price.
If there is enough interest, I work for an extrusion company now that make the rubber extrusions for 85% of the world automotive market, and I know we
have a lot of edge trim etc in stock.
If I can drum up a few thousand metres of demand we could possibly do a run and I can assure you the cost is a lot less than £1.00 a metre!!! 
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
