Post Porsche interior fabric: Help!!!

Hello:
I just finished a whole lot of Pan Rust Repairs on my '70 911T. Most of the pan was replaced, also the door sills, etc... I need to replace the leatherette material that is glued to the intertior surface of the "B" pillar and the inner edge of the sheet metal that wraps around the interior of vertical surface that the door strike attaches to. This fabric is a near, if not exact match to the material used to cover the rear portion of the seat backs and the side panels of the seats. I have looked through several parts catalogs (Tweeks, Automotion, etc...) and have not found it there. does any one have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim Florance

Guys:
Thankyou for all the resources. I spoke to all the individuals at the three companies you referred to me. My material is on the way! This site is one of the best resources I've found to get my car back into the condition I will be proud of.

Original fit interiors. They were very helpful. These guys really seem to know what they are doing. By the way, On typical 911's of 1973 a black basketweave fabric was used as the insert material for the flat surface that the radio, ignition,***** ant the 911T,E,S script are located. did the 1973 911RS use the same fabric? when I saw a real one, I didn't pay any attention to this detail and would like to get this fabric right if possible. I've been told several different things ranging from Perlon carpet to black leatherette. Any add'l help out there would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all the good advise I've gotten from the fellow users of this resource.

All,
Do Original Fit Interiors have a website? I am in the UK and looking for some interior door panels for my 1988 commemorative edition 911. These are a metallic blue colour and proving pretty difficult to find.

Thanks
Paul

JIM FLORANCE: I go visit lake arrowhead 4 times a year. I stay at the lake arrowhead resort great place. I will be there in two weeks can't wait. I might have some help for you on the interior there is a company in the south that might offer some help. I will get the numbers. BTW: They have a restaurant that sucks in lake arrowhead the name of it is chef inn I think. I can't believe this guy is even in business, The food is terrible.
