I know this has been a topic before, and the last disscussion I remember, Dr. Evil was on the trail of a source for the vinyl basketweave. Did he ever find it and does anyone know where to get it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) This is not going to be for a stock application so I'm not trying to take anyones business here. I know it is out there because someone sells kits on e-bay for the doors and dash. I just don't have the endless hours (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) to search on line. Help Please (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

We have sourced it, and we cannot beat the prices of the person who sells on e-bay. It would be fairly easy to find, just go to your local upholstery supply places and ask to see their german stuff. There are several forms of basketweave, so I reccomend taking a swatch with you. More than likely, they will need to order it and won't have any in stock.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) An upholstery shop should be able to get it. If you can't find I can source it at a local upholstery shop.

We order it from an upholstery wholesale place, they order it from California, so by the time It gets to us the cost is a bit more than $25.

Sounds like you need to cut out one of the middle men.
Gahh has always been good to me. Quick shipping too. |

Dr. Evil's stuff is the real deal, or pretty darn close to it. I have butt pads that look like new now. Thanks Mike. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I bought some several years ago from Performance Products. Several years ago is probably eons in reality. I also have a new catalog from Mid America Motor works which offers enough to do 2 door panels for $80. Add $60 (Achtung!) if you want vinyl from Germany. Gotta be a Pebble Beach Judge to tell the difference though.
