Leather bolster

[SilverShadow]

Anyone know what options I have in replacing/repairing my driver side leather bolster?

I think it is beyond repair any realy needs replacing, Ive put up a few wanted threads for a leather bolster as i was going replace and re-dye the whole interior after.

i dont want to part with the interior as its motorsport silver leather with heated seats including leather door cards.

I was now thinking that i get a re- trimmer to do the job but that would look and bit odd as the rest of the interior would loook worn compared to the bolster (grain of the leather etc)

Any help??

Anyone??

Probably only option is to get it re-trimmed and then ruff it up yourself

Got any pic's of it?

You could get it retrimmed and I think it would look fine.

Becuase, the bolster gets the most wear, so after time it will catch up and then look just like the rest, if its the same thing of course.

you can buy bolsters i have 2 waiting to respray and fit i just cant find a circlip plyers to do the job (aka a hog ring plyers)then its just a matter of removing the back of the seat and the rings and nuts that hold the bolster in place.

you can buy bolsters

Dealers dont do them any more??

Where did you get yours from??

[corkie]

got mine from someone breaking a pair of seats tip..the inside bolsters are usualy in good nick and the ins drivers seat fits the doorside passenger seat and tudderway round any ideas on the elusive plyers...?

Sorry for the thread highjack, but I have the same issue.



Whats the best way of sorting this out?

oomz1975,
follow corkies suggestion above, and get hold of a redundant passenger seat inside bolster and fit it in place of your knackered drivers one.

Corkie,
it's a number of months since you were asking about circlip pliers... if you're still looking then screwfix would be the place I'd go for those sorts of tools, either online or they've now opened a number of trade counters which saves on postage costs.
