Leather seat repairs?

[Jalfonse]

The seat bolsters (side bits) are cracking in my Tamora, is there a DIY fix for this or can anyone recommend a repairer? Any idea of cost? Thanks!

I would say not DIY. Probably not leather in the car either. The cheap stuff TVR used was man made and nowhere near as supple as leather. Any good trimmer should be able to sort it, I paid about £100 to get the side and arse part done on the drivers seat.

I am not sure if Milton Keynes is too far, but if not try Dave The Trimmer. Problem is you might end up with a whole new interior . You can't of missed the forums on here recently showing his work. Highly recommend him. He has just re-trimmed mine and I am over the moon.

I used a guy in Loughbrough. Not sure of that is too far for you. customclassicretro.co.uk did a mint job completely retraining my seats (minus alacantara). I found material online and bought it and have him seats and material. Good price and quick turn around. He is used to Tamora seats after doing mine. Worth an email. Tell him Andy sent you.

Thanks for the suggestions, does Dave the trimmer in Milton Keynes have a website or telephone number?, the Loughborough site looks good, I'll call them both and see what they say. Cheers

Yes Dave has a website with photos of his work, if you message me with your email address will send photos of my re-trim

Vaughan at Custom Classic and Retro has a workshop at the end of his garden, helps him keep costs down. Here is a pick of my seats fully retrimmed (except alacantara)
