R1/R2 Seat material for replica?
Has anyone located material that replicates the OEM R1/R2 seats? Restoring an R2 and it would be cool to redo the seats with the OEM look.

Thanks,
Dan

FWIW a local upholstery shop came up with a match on the bolster material on my R1 driver’s seat that was getting pretty thin. The only clue to the replacement is mostly that it’s just not as old. But you really have to look close to see that.

Are you doing it yourself? If not, a car upholstery place should be able to source the good automotive stuff fairly easily. I understand it's not easy for the retail market to get their hands on the good stuff
