Default Keep in mind....

Hi Jason

As previously explained Guy is looking into reproducing the seat covers ( and other OD canvas thingnies) using an industrial machine.

On close examination there are quite a few places were you need to stitch through 4 layers of fabric...... the piping for example.... which requires a strudy machine.

Guy is also sourcing the dot fasteners for the seats.

Finding a good source of the heavy OD fabric is also a problem...... getting a full xxx number of yards.... I mean meters..... is expensive....very few retailer will sell by the meter on the good stuff.

Stew Loy did have contacts with a fabricator that made tarps for our trucks but not sure if they want to sell in small batches when they need to buy a full roll.

Unless we did a collective bulk purchase amongst MLUers.
