Why not simply pay a competent upholstery shop $25-$35 to make them like new
again? I recently had a tunnel cover re-done in black leather for $24!

Triumph breakers in the UK (TRGB, Spitfire Graveyard) will have some
completely untouched by the damaging effects of strong sunshine!! However,
cheap as they will be, carriage to the USA may make them nearly as
expensive
as buying new over there.
When mine was falling to pieces I originally planned to re-cover it. I was
surprised to find that the re-covering kit from Rimmers cost almost as much
as a complete unit - certainly the difference wasn't enough to make it
worth
going through the difficulty of trying to do the covering myself. That's
why I bought second-hand from TRGB.
