Front seats re-trim or replace

[Chris 83JA]

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.

can we get pics? I was thinking about changing seats one day. Not sure the path I am taking though

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.
