    71 leather seats

    I am looking for feedback on who to buy new leather seat covers from for my 71. I have seen very few new covers that look like the originals. My originals are not that bad and may be good for a survivor car.

    Re: 71 leather seats

    One good reason repro leather skins don't look as close to originals as they could/should lies in how they're put on. Without new/fresh foam, they won't 'fill' properly and will look 'loose' and shoddy in terms of fit. Leather is more sensitive to fill than vinyl, in my book, and I'd advise anyone re-doing their seats not to miss the opportunity to install fresh foam pads and knock off rust/repaint the frames and springs....
