In anticipation of getting my new-to-me 914-6, I know it'll need the seats recovered.

Anyone have any source for custom recover kits?

I want the Hounds Tooth for the inset and black vinyl for the bulsters.

Go tartan/plaid. But I am biased. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Auto Atlanta has kits, so does this place:

$349 on sale seems pretty good.

But I'm hoping to lose the hot/black vinyl. Would love some sort of cloth.

914rubber has both tartan and houndstooth kits. Tartan costs a bit more but it was a factory 914 option.

I installed the 914Rubber kit and the silver plaid is a hit with my wife as she can wear shorts now in the car.

Neither was available on the 914-6. Only MY75 and 76 914s had plaid available, AFAIK. None had houndstooth. Although the houndstooth ones I’ve seen (aftermarket kit) look great.

of course actually a real 914-6 is so valuable it should be made back to its original factory configuration.

It's a converted six, I didn't buy an original 914-6 for that exact reason. I've also used Autos International before = very high quality products.

Hey Root,
Just order 2 yards of the Tartan cloth you like from SMS. Then go to any skilled upholsterer in your area. They can do both the cloth and vinyl redo without any problem.
