Navigator seat

Forums

I was able to find an original Navigator seat. It needs a new cover.

Is this style of fabric on top still available?

Back of the seat is covered with tape.

Hello Ulrich,

I recently bought a seat exactly like that from these people:

http://www.rk-leighton.co.uk/

Have to say I am very happy with it. I bought a new one as my foam was shot, the seat was the wrong colour and the pan was mostly fibreglass. Very quick delivery (within a week) and very good quality. Fits well and has all the trims in your picture. The chap knew more about the correct seat for my year and colour than I did.

I think he will supply the cover if that is all you need.

Regards

Andrew

Leytons supplied a new cover for me that was a very close match to the orriginal. I have read some years ago that they were having difficulty getting the correct material in the small quantities needed, possibly ok now. I used a thin foam sheeting stuck over the old slightly shrunk foam and then covered in cling film to keep damp out.The cover fits better if warmed first. I also found a hot glue gun usefull to help fixing the cover.
