Thanks Phil

I have only frames but no fabric of any kind, also no spring seats which I can use as an example..

Can you give me an address on the fabric?? which color ?? do they have OD.. or do you use brown?

Thanks

Hi Pieter

I've been doing some searching to find a good source for Cordura and information on colors. I've requested some samples so that I can get the best match for the fabric appearance as a match to original CMP seat and round hatch cover. My local source has gone out of business.

But here are some locations if anyone wants to look at colors and information online.

Seller Websites - (I have not used any of these yet) but they do have information on color and fabric.

http://seattlefabrics.com/ My son inlaw did use these people when he was modifying his camping gear for hiking the Appalachian Trail approximately 2200 miles,

Hope this information is of help, I've got to make a new set of front Seat Covers for the Pattern 13 so I've gotten out my originals and old patterns. As I'm making a set I'll try to improve my patterns and figure out a way of sharing them.
