Dave Herrod Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 A very long time ago I bought a pair of seats to use in my TR3A rebuild. Although nowhere near ready for trimming, I am currently working away during the week and thought that I might usefully wile away the evenings by getting the various trim panels covered. I am pretty sure that the seats had been trimmed to match a TR 4 or 5 trim colour -they are a sort of medium tan- but I am struggling to find a match. As you will see from the attached photo, the vinyl has a pebble grain which I would also like to match if possible. I have been trying to remember where I went to buy them, in case anyone recognises the seats, but I am struggling...I am thinking it was NW London, but I could be wrong. The chap was an active local group member. Any ideas as to possible suppliers, or the colour gratefully received. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Herrod Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thanks for the replies - I had already approached the usual suspects to see if I could get a close colour match. Martrim have the best so far. The vinyl used is particularly heavy duty and has quite an unusual grain pattern which I would like to try and match. Thanks Steve for getting in touch and for the contact - I am a bit embarrassed that I had forgotten who I had bought them from, but it is a long time ago! Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Dave, https://www.etsystudio.com/listing/485218603/desert-vinyl-champion-outdoorindoor Any good? I think that pattern of embossing may also be known as Sutton Grain in US. Alan Edited September 25, 2017 by barkerwilliams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
