[GlennR]

I've ordered mine!!!Door Cards

[markymark]

Is that a stock colour? Lol

Magnificent...they'll complement the chartreuse rear curtins I'm having made up for the car! It should be a class act especially in concert with the Startled Madonna rear brake light kit on the rear parcel tray!

To me they look bl**dy awful

The task of sticking the leather to the hardboard backing with straight seams and turning the leather over the edges will be a challenge, they should be Vinyl which is easier to turn over the edges.
I am doing when I can! my friends door pockets done as they should be they are not easy! Velvet aka Mick on here who is a great trimmer will tell you they are a time consuming job.

I did a complete set for my mate Glenn aka mrsilltrims sadly the guy who was restoring his car in Wisbech stole them for the want of a better word!! and someone else has his complete Buckskin interior which was sighed and dated by me on the backs, this still makes me angry!!!

John is right ! This fella on ebay must be "off his nut ! " i doubt he has sold a single pair of mappockets covers or door-card covers in real-leather with crazy coloured double-stitching seams. I think he's doing the same with rear headrests covers. Anyway each to their own, but some food for thought; p5 mappockets should be done in moquette, you will need 1 metre for a pair and moquette sells at around £45 per sq meter, whereas real leather sells at around £30 per sq metre, making mappockets in real leather means its a cheep cop-out!
Pre-stitching the door card covers in leather or vynle and then sticking it on the HDF cards DOES NOT WORK ! The stitch line will be all over the place and will eventualy come away from the HDF.
The only way to do it is in vynle (and moquette mappockets) and the way john has done them.

They were top class interior parts made by John. The company in question was a trusted restorer.                                       


I did take him to court and won some compensation. It just goes to show. Anyway, the interior is now being done.

One of life's lessons.

Had a look on there john but only in blue not black !!!!
Do you know of any other suppliers.
Surely this problem has arisen when other people have redone rubbers.

Wadhams have them but supplied with a full door kit and not available separately.
