Enough demand for reproduction of tan basket weave vinyl ???

[Maximillian]

We are thinking of having the tan basket weave vinyl reproduced so that everyone can have new seat covers to for their pre-74 2002. But we need to know if there would be enough interest to do this. Input, suggestions ??

Thanks,

PS: the grey trunk vinyl is now off back order.

I'm all for it!!!

I would be interested in this. I believe World Upholstery does not offer tan for older 02s, so this would be very welcome.

not all tans were created equal.

i'm partial to the tan with the light black steaks in it, pre-73

although i am unsure if that applied to the smooth vinyl only, or not.

i have a '73 tii with the more orangish brown that could use new seat vinyl.

put me down for a minimum of one set whichever color-tone you decide (oh, wait, need a price first before commiting).

Saddle / Brown basket weave is also an in-demand item.

Saddle / Brown basket weave is also an in-demand item.

Ditto. I'd like to recover my Recaros...

Count me in.

Absolutely, `69 vintage saddle brown which is slightly orange.

I need some to do my Recaros. Does anyone have a good color comparison for the '73 Saddle / Brown / Tobacco? IIRC, this may have been touched on in an earlier post.

I'd be interested in saddle/tobacco brown for my '73 sahara. How about also reproducing the tobacco w/black door panels.

I am very interested if it is the color for the 71-73 year light saddle/tan. Also the smooth vinyl would be great as well. Thanks 313-492-9087

Absolutely interested ! I looked for anything close to and had to settle for Mercedes weave as the closest. I am now planning to dye it for the right color.

Very Welcome. I know of at least 5 other people who are looking.

"tan" colors used on roundies--the early stuff, which is browner and has some mottling, and the later color, which is more orange (particularly as it ages) and is the same color throughout.

I have seen a smooth vinyl that is a very close match to the later vinyl color, but never the basketweave.

I'd be in favor of both, particularly if the smooth stuff was also available. Those old Recaros languishing in my basement are just begging to be made into 2002 sport seat clones that will match my tan back seat...

Just wanted to share a picture of what I had to settle for when re-doing the seats for my 72 Malaga. After a long search through upholsterers, material shops, etc., this was the closest color and weave. I am still not happy, so I opted to color match and dye. (bought dye but not done yet)

I would absolutely welcome and buy the correct color and center weave.

I'd take some basketweave and smooth.
