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.

Depends on the size. I have a little over a yard of that fabric. The recaro fabric itself isnt that soft but we could do an ultra suede back so if you ever wanted to rest your head on it you would have a soft side.

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.

[a2coupe2a]

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.

[a2coupe2a]

We will prob make some rectangular pillow as well

[monzon]

That's so cool!

anybody?

i wouldn't mind getting some of that fabric

[a2coupe2a]

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.
