WOW seems like they have it well planned out and at a good price too! i wouldnt be interested in it personally but if you were thinking about retrimming it looks like the way to go! they must be a Japanese company....

I'm sure this is the kit that Oz sells in Japan...

He did offer me the opertunity to sell it over here but to be honest, they also do an FTO one and some of the people who bought one of those weren't too happy with the quality for what it costs... (although I've never actually seen a set myself yet)

Hi Tim, just bought your old beat from Esson, but the side of the leather is now worn, could you tell me where you got the leather from, as i might order a piece and have it sewn on.Many Thanks..PS. You did a nice retrim job.. Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks, I take it the leather has stayed in place? I did it with fibrebacked leatherette first time round and it tended to peel off on the tight corners.

Glad to hear she's still running. I'd love to get one over here but I think the Queensland roads would make short work of shaking it apart.

I'm pretty sure the place the leather came from was called "Christies upholstery" on the Brackla Industrial estate Bridgend, but having done a quick search I can't find anything other than "Well Seated" which may have taken over. Their number is 01656 665507.

Best of luck
