Hi All,
Anyone had their front seats retrimmed in Melbourne and can recommend a good place? What sort of prices should I be looking at?
Would probably need re-stuffing (what's the proper word?) as well.
Alternately, anyone put some seats from a newer car in, or can think of any that would go well with the grey interior?
Thanks,
Chris

hey chris I got a quote for $1300 in leather and $700 in vinyl.
Why not use the black interior out of your yellow JA, that would look sick.

The yellow JA may be up for sale soon, and I think I'll be leaving the black interior in it. Grey suits the silver one I think..

i just replaced the front seats in my ja with adr approved just jap recliners costing around $700 after freight costs to get em here. i have made up plates that sit on top of part of the original seat brackets which i cut/unbolted from the original seat rails. it all fits nicely but u wouldnt want to be 7 foot tall as they are about an inch thicker in the base than the original seats! so u do sit a little higher. they're nice but!
i can reproduce the mounting plates for u for $200 plus freight if u want to go down this path! they're 3mm mild steel, passes qld transport requirements, that which i'm pretty sure would be the same in every state.

There is another option, obx daytona seats line up with the existing starion rail and require 2 holes to be drilled to fit them. The only issue is they are fixed back and you will need to make new levers to allow foward and back seat adjustment.
