F40 seat material

[TCF]

Dull I know but I have a client who wishes to have the seats in his F40 re-covered. We've tried a few people but no-one seems to have the original style seat material left. Does anyone recommend anyone who can do this job?

Thanks in advance,

William

I believe it is nomex material...you can buy it from re-originals inc.

Quick update on this, we've received the sample from the States but it's a much closer weave and much brighter than the original. Does anyone have any other ideas as to what other options there are?

Much appreciated.

Have you tried contacting Bob Houghton or DK Engineering or Michelotto?...

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have - the car is at Bob Houghton at the moment and they have drawn a blank, hence the reason why the client has asked me to try to locate some material - and with PH being the resource that it is, there's no better place to look.

we recovered an F 40 seat last year and had to take the seats out and send back to Ferrari in Italy, cost was around £2500, we did have one that was covered in alcantara and was lovely especially at £600
