E30 houndstooth side bolster fabric

[Panici]

Looking for some fabric to redo my drivers seat side bolsters.
They are cloth sport seats, in what I believe is houndstooth.

Both bolsters on the door side of the drivers seat have holes, and need to be repaired.

mine are ripped the exact same way... if anyone knows where to source the fabric! let us know!

Fabric is nla. Best you can do is a close match.

Bump. Anyone have a roll of this stuff by chance?

Or has anyone found stuff that is a close match?

I searched for quite a while to find a reproduction or something with no luck. Your best bet is going to be finding a seat to get the material from. Keep searching, they do turn up once in a while.

Damn that's what I was afraid of.

Any suggestions on what I should do meanwhile? I was thinking maybe "Fabric tape". I just don't know if I can get a color that's close.

Also have a smaller chunk (not sure if I want to part with the big chuck)

opie needs anthrazite fabric (0211), not the houndstooth pattern.
you can source that fabric itself from loose ends of a comfort seat or the rear bench as they seem to me more abundant (read: less scarce) than sport seats themselves.
the plug and play bolsters also pop up time to time on eBay.de or ".co.uk, but be prepared to pay a pretty penny for them.

I've given away too many of my secrets, will crawl back into my cave now

How much do you think I'd need to make a shift boot?

That small chunk I have would be plenty, maybe even enough for 2. That's what I was going to make with it but never happened.

I have this houndstooth shift boot + plastic ring included....if you're interested in it. Prob is there is a tear in the fabric on the bottom right, since the fabric stretched shifting into 1st.
