Marc,
Before you rule out leather have a chat with Cliff at Trim-tec
www.trim-tec.co.uk
He can do good value vinyl or leather seat covers and the quality is superb.

| Hello listers
| I can now effectively join the "club", being the proud owner of
| "Decibel", a 1979 FH Spit.
| I think I am very lucky, because Decibel is very sound (no pun...).
| First of all, I was told it/she had been converted to unleaded, but
| no invoice to prove it. Is there a tell tale sign to verify (apart
| from filling her up with unleaded until something eventually happens).
| Second, the Rev counter isn't lit at night. Is that normal, or is
| there a bulb I might want to look at.
| Third, the reading light on the passenger's side doesn't work. The
| bulb is good, and no fuse is AWOL... Any suggestions?
| And finally (for now) the seat's upholstery is in a very sad state,
| but the seats seem quite good. The trim is beige with houndstooth
| cloth, and I am going to get a new one from Rimmer's. Any experience
| with the fitting among you? And should I go for the cloth or settle
| for the plain vinyl (leather is a little too dear...)?
|
| Thanks in advance
|
| Marc and Decibel
