    Question Whose seat shown on TRE's website?

    I love the tartan used on the seat of TRE's website and I'm wondering if the owner could let me know which clan that is. I've looked on a lot of tartan and Scottish websites, but haven't seen that one; it looks similar to a black watch but more blue and the yellow stripe.
    Here is the seat in question: (Sorry, Dave, had to appropriate it it for this thread...I emailed you about it but never heard back from you)
    Name: IMG_2971.jpg Views: 568 Size: 38.2 KB
    Name: IMG_2970.jpg Views: 571 Size: 61.7 KB

    It's a fantastic fabric and I gotta have that for Daisy. Any help is much appreciated; email me at bluerex02 at yahoo dot com.

    Lewis, I called and sent around 4 emails to him already asking about it...no response. I figured the owner might see my post.

    Sorry guys
    been over the top disorganizing Targa California and a very full house of work. Tony at Autobahn Interiors supplied the tartan plaid for those particular seat shells. Don't know if he has any more. We purchased enough to build two pairs of seats years ago and that was it at that time. The link to the plaids is a good one. We found other ones in the UK. You might also contact SMS fabrics in Canby Oregon as they have various plaids available as well. They will send you samples. Pick one, buy 2 yards and send it down to us. We can build you the seats
    thanks

    It looks like the MacLaren Clan tartan. Check out this website for reference. I have been drooling over their fabrics for a couple of years. The Black Watch is my favorite.

    Per pair of seats:
    For material where the roll is 54" wide, then 1.5 meters length x 54" will suffice for the center of the seats. Otherwise figure on 2 sq meters if only 1 meter wide roll. Most of the sports purpose fiberglass shells need 2 yards x 54" wide to cover the inner side panels, bolsters, and head rests. A fully covered seat , as found in the 911R and Scheel series would need and additional yard
    With any of these you end up with some left over
