I have been told that I will need 4 meters of the cloth to recenter the seats.

Okay....4 x 75 = $300 (plus international shipping) for the fabric. That sounds significantly less than leather and even vinyl. And the retro authenticity will be nice.

Even though my car has the pinstripe cloth, I am leaning towards the P-script for the recovering. It looks cool, and it sounds like it's durable too.

Next I will see how much an upholstery shop will charge to recover if I provide the cloth. It sounds like redoing the seats with this original fabric will be a really cool restoration!

Is that for the front and back seats? 13 feet just sounds like a lot. Any idea how wide the fabric is?

With regard to the amount of fabric required, here is what I was told:

"Pre oval dash type (before 1985) would require 3 metres, and after 1985 oval dash 2 button electric seat type would require 4 metres."
