When I was putting my Amazon together I managed to get an old seat base, the correct colour and a chap up the road from you sewed it all up and you would never know. There is also a guy in Wellesley Road, Methil, who is a handy chap to know. |

You haven't said what colour. First thing to go is usually the stitching and that can often be redone if the vinyl hasn't ripped. Sections can be stretched a bit and restitched as long as you're not looking for a concours job. Covers will need to come off to work out what's best. Seat backs and usually good rear seats can often be a donor for material.

If you're looking for color code 176-524 (kinda medium-light blue), I had difficulty sourcing seatcovers in that material for my '66... think it was a one-year color. I've seen others substitute the grey or black instead; became irrelevant for me when I changed body and interior colors altogether.
