    That seat is a variant of the Recaro LS. I have new lower foam in stock right now and can get good used upper foam. New upper foam is NLA.

    As for the fabric i will see what the options are but short of having it reproduced i doubt it will be available.

      Can you find some Alpina cloth like the pic? Also, replacement upper and lower bolster foam for the seat model in the pic.

      Last time I talked to Susan at KSK she said they had some made. $300 per meter, non wholesale.

                Regular black cloth or even the avus stuff on the back would be cool. Let me measure one of the pillows to check the size, but I think about 16" square would work.

                  If we did avus we would have to charge way too much for the pillows. As of now with either syn suede backing or vinyl backing they would be about $50 a pop for a 16 so im not really sure if anybody would want to buy them at that price.

                    Got bored and banged this out tonight. Made it with a zipper so you could stuff it to your liking. Going to make some minor tweeks to the pattern but you get the idea..

                    We used a dark grey suede back.

                            The fabric is reproduction stuff that i got off ebay and the quality is kind of crap. Its perfect for pillows and low wear items but i wouldnt suggest using it in seats.

                              O Thats fine. My girlfriend wants to make a pillow so this will work perfect.

                                Lets bring this back from the dead...

                                So i figured since im trying to renovate my downstairs i would share my collection as i bring it up. There are still about 15-20 seats left to bring up but here is a start. Keep in mind we do custom auto upholstery so even the rough ones will look nice eventually. There a few sets im not sure the actual name of, If you know feel free to jump in :D

                                Late 70's early 80's originally had netted headrest but somebody removed the fabric. (not sure actual name)



                                80's solo seat unkown name. Somebody did a kind of craptastic job recovering it..


                                80's i was told they were "alpina"seats originally out of a bmw 2002 unknown name



                                80's another unknown name



                                Recaro "tangerine" model c's (1 of 3 sets)



                                Recaro LS's being recovered for our cabrio should have the inserts done soon (1 of 3 sets)






                                Model c's (orthopeds)



                                Manual velour MK2 recaros



                                Some of the trophy collection



                                ....More to come
                                Represent :D
