leather cloth

[p5andrew]

Hi All

I am seeking some leather cloth for my P5B, mainly for the door cards and front armrests but also some small parts of the seats.  Can anyone advise where I can obtain some, preferably with the right grain to match that which Rover used.  Colour is saddle tan but I can always re-colour if necessary.

I have tried Wadhams but they currently do not have stock and are unable to give a lead time at present.  Can anyone give an alternative source?  I know Woolies list it but am not sure how well it will match.  

On a different tack, should I purchase the stretch type or the non-stretch?

You could give Aldridge trimmers a call. They are midlands based and very well known for many years. They have a detailed website too.

Try Woolies - www.woolies-trim.co.uk. They are in Peterborough and specialise in car trimming, supplying a wide range of items.

I have just used the beige leathercloth that JRW supplies to recover some interior bits. The embossed patern is a very good match with the original material and the colour looks fine too.

This is the vertical trim panel for the inner wing under the curved dashboard panel. I had to make a new hardboard panel because the original was delaminated and falling apart due to water damage from a leaking windscreen. I reused the original trim clips.
