Does anybody know how much a replacement T350 seat would cost or where would be a good place to look?

I've got a tear in one of the bolsters on mine and have been quoted £350-400 to get it repaired and that would mean it would have different stitching to the passenger side. So i was wondering if it would be worth trying to source a replacement that matches.

TIA.

Good condition pairs normally sell on E-bay for around £500 from Douglas Valley.

Thanks for that. It's not really worth getting it repaired then.

If it's not such a daft question, why will the new bolster have different stitching to the existing. Surely if you take it to smoeone like D&C trimming in Blackpool, (ex factory), they can match the leather and stiching exactly. Also think the price you have been quoted are a little excesive.

It will be the same style and colour stitching but it will be stitched at shoulder height on the seat where the new material is put in. Usually it's one continuous peice all the way round so it will look a bit odd.

TBH most people probably wouldn't notice it but i would and it would bug me.
