Hi Jordan, Nice job on the seats, I have just had four rear seat pads made, I have looked at all sorts of materials to match original carrier seat coverings, I have some original NOS rear seat backs and borrowed some original unworn bases to copy.
From what I have looked out hear in the uk to best match a carrier seat cover is to get hold of some green wooven canvas material used in welding screens or tilt covers, make your seat cover with it then paint it in marine gloss green matched to an original carrier cover, this is a flexible paint that takes a week to dry. What i then hope is in time the paint will then craze and crack as seen on original covers.
One quick question on carrier engines, were does the earth cable connect to the engine block, on mine its on the cylinder head but I suspect it should be connected elseware.
