Bought some wood (B&Q < 4e) + leatherette (Hickey's < 10e), used old card/cover as templates




Much drilling + jigsawing later




The material is a close enough match




Fitted (still needs a clean)

Nice job !

You didn't go for the tartan then

Impressive! So how long did it take?

No, no tartan, couldn't find the right blend, maybe next year

Took about 6/7 hours over 4 eves, in hindsight I wasted too much time without a jigsaw + was way too particular about the wood/material shape cutting. I cut the material to the pattern of the old cover rather than just wrapping the new card and cutting off the excess/holes after it had been stapled down. If given a clear run at it I think it could be done a lot faster.

class job, was worth the time with the jigsaw... great looking fit!

nice tidy job there steve matieral is good match

Looks well!
Recovered mine in diamond stitch vinyl last week, but wish i had made a new drivers side card like you did as mine is a bit warped!

Excellent work Steve!
