along this line, has anyone changed from vinyl to leather seats?  I know some 
spitfires (at least, probably other triumphs too) came with leather as o.e., 
but where would I find a decent reupholstering kit for leather?  I think I 
heard some place in england makes 'em (forget the name) and vicky brit lists a 
black/black kit for something like $400, so there must be something about it to 
justify the extra $200 (the nice lady who answered the phone there couldn't 
say).  any experiences out there?  I gotta redo my seats anyway, figure I might 
as well go all out...

thanks

scott

p.s.  in case I'm wrong about leather being o.e.m., I _swear_ I won't do it.  
just don't flame me...  please...  I won't even change the original color.  I 
left the generator on it!  and I definitely _don't_ want to put a judson 
superchager in it.  honest.
