Hey all,

I've given my G Spyder a thorough clean but I'm worried about a strip of yellow piping on the drivers seat and some sections of the perforated leather on both seats. The piping has flaked off in parts and the perforated leather has sections that look like they might 'peel' off if left or anymore wear occurs.

Can anyone recommend anyone who does a good job repairing piping and treating perforated leather? Alternatively any products on the market that are any good?

Haven't the first idea whether these guys are actually any good but their website is pretty bright and very noisy!!

www.leathertek.co.uk

and they might be just the chaps to sort your Spyder's seats out.

I haven't spent any time at all making little tunes since finding this via a Classic & Sports Car advert...

No, no time at all... honest injuns pardner...

Cheers DP, if I'm honest there's not much 'damage' to the seats I'm just a bit cautious. With a bit of TLC it should be alright. If anymore piping 'flakes' off or the seat worsens I'll give them a bell.

Thanx again!

I recommend a long, intense course of free form 'jazz', a few teenage days hanging around in shops that sell synthesisers and an extended month or ten listening to 'modern' orchestral music as well...


You can make a tune with some pages... getmecoat

If you're anywhere near West Sussex or in the UK, even, Mike Thomas, now based at West Harting near Petersfield is a magician with leather. Can pass on details if you are interested. Ant Hawkes -LCUK

I'm not sure it's a massive repair job and as I'm in Shropshire it's a bit of a trek. Please email me any details you have and I'll keep them on file.

Cheers.
