Well Ian got the quote for me today to have the seats reupholstered at the department of interior.......$1600 they quoted him....:o:eek:
Apparently the seat cushion have latex or something in them and they often tear needing the cushion replaced..
He also said its 10hours worth of work
Sounds like bull**** to me.
So I think I will be doing them myself.
I only wanted all three seats to have some new vinyl put on to the already reasonable cushions,:(.
some of the seats have a latex type spray adhesive on the underside of the material to make the material stick to the cushioning. These are the seats that almost never tear but feel a little "stiff". Removing the materail usually destroys the top inch or so of the cushion foam so you have to get that remade.
the last set I did cost me $400 for the 3 bases and backs. But I dropped them in as a no rush item and waited 2 weeks for the come pick them up phone call.
is it not possible to stick a blade in and cut the material from the base rather then pulling it?
The Ironic thing Dave is it only costs 600bux for brand spankers from exmoor trim which is what makes me laugh about the 1600 dollars
Hey lou, i know a good local trimmer if you need one. He did a nice job on pauls p38 seat after the srs bag went 'poof'. Good on $$ too, but being a non landrover bloke, it may not be as concourse as exmor.Quote:

I did have a mate that said she would have a go just got to find a shop that will sell vinyl/leatherette so I can get the Land Rover embroidered in before fitting it to the seat
Where is your bloke? close enough to get the seats to him for a quote?
You could sew Land Rover patches as sold by the LROCS onto the seats, but embroidering would look cool too. :D
If you aren't after concourse, why not buy a sewing machine and do them yourself? They aren't particularly complicated!

The plan is to have a dark tan coloured seat with embroidery and stitching done in a light tan...
I'm not after concourse but I'm after them looking neat and tidy:)
something like this

lady across the road from me does embroidry. I also have some spare seats that need reworking. If you like I can ask her about a cost to get that done and send you the seats 1:1+costs if you like.
Thanks dave I might chase the costs down here first as I have some seats that are in reasonably good nic.Quote:
