Hello Chris
There is also the option of buying the leather hide and having the seats
professionally trim by a motor trimmer.
I have bought hides from Leffler Leather in Melbourne and had the trimming
done by Bill Ogg at Hytone Motor Trimming in Riverstone. I could point you
in the direction of a number of concours cars in our club where Bill has
done the trimming.
I would also recommend Walls at Brookvale who advertise in our magazine. Of
course both can easily source the leather for you.
Interestingly when I have bought leather hides in the past they have arrived
wrapped around a very long pole. Smells wonderful!
Best wishes

Chris,
I was happy with my seat covers from AH Spares. They were for a BN4,
although I imagine the quality should be the same for the BJ8 versions.
Rich will probably confirm Heritage are better overall quality, but I
believe they are more expensive?
cheers
Derek
