Thread: Source for correct pattern front seat center section material.

  1. #1

    Source for correct pattern front seat center section material.

    Does anybody reproduce the material for the center section of the seats on a 67. My original has kind of a diamond pattern. Thanks

    I'm afraid I'm not expert on current offerings. But, to make everything clear, you are talking about leatherette (Kunstleder) seat inserts? What color?

    It might be some help to check the downloads at http://www.porsche.com/international...icaldocuments/. Porsche Classic says this is for 1970 but it may well show what you're after:

    You can call suppliers and ask for samples--if you still have your original seat covers you can decide for yourself.

    Autos International used to sell sets of samples. They don't anymore but I asked about it at the last LitMeet and was told that if someone wanted a specific sample they would send it.

    Wow! Your seats have seen some wear.

    As far as I can tell from the potos, your seats look likes the same pattern as the top row in the Porsche Classic Download. The second row shows punched [real] leather.

    The pattern in your seats may be a decent match for "Black 9120" from either Stoddard or Sierra Madre Collection. Stoddard's on-line rendition of the samples is too small to judge well and Sierra Madre's is hopelessly small.

    By the way, these on-line samples look just like the sample card on Autos International's old website www.autosintl.net. Their new website www.porschetopsandinteriors.net has a different card.


    There's only so much that can be learned from on-line photos. You really need to call your supplier of choice and ask for a couple swatches.
