Hi Don
.. That's a good question - I need to measure - I've assumed that you have the same pattern used in different color (as cheap as possible) .. I am also not sure if it woven or printed .. you have the Door Cards,[:I] could have a look to ..

... Do we know how close the green pattern specs are to the red one?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Red and green pattern should be the same.
But I found out that there is some variation between different seats and doorcards.
Also the repeat of the pattern isn't symetrical as per a real tartan.

I can't locate the seats. I may have given them to the trimmer last year and forgot to collect. (I gave two sets to make one)

Bummer! Would like to see a little more of the pattern repeat
Fed Ex drooped the new door cards today.
The stock sample from the fabric guy doesn't quite match .
I will be sending him the whole card to match color and hopefully pattern

Henry or Frank . Can you put a good measuring tape (cloth with maybe inches and then mm on the seat back so I can see the repeat with good measurements.
Then do the seat too?
Do you guys follow me?

It's an original 1977 seat cover.

Can you lay it out as flat as you can and then put a tape on it both ways.
And if you can PDF it that would be great
If not, I'll try to change the format

I'll try to do that this weekend. Also some pics in the daylight, the tape is too shiny with the flash on it.

So the fabric guy was wondering if there was some interest in the red too?
