Hi all, Apologies in advance if this has been discussed ( to death ) previously. Ive done some searching but still not sure.
I have a 71 911E that was delivered with black white Pepita inserts in Recaro comfort seats. Somewhere along its life they were swapped out for period correct comfort seats with black vinyl and black corduroy inserts. Ive sourced some good quality pepita and vinyl from a guy in the UK and re-upholstering is about to begin.
Ive looked at many pics and searched the forums and web but I imagine someone on here knows the answer.
Is there a correct alignment of the fabric?
It may even be that sports recaros are different from Comfort seats, possibly because the stitching is different, so it is comfort seats Im interested in.
It appears from pics Ive seen to have wider black stripes one way than the other and while the pattern appears at first glance to be hard to tell, Im thinking the wider stripe is vertical on black/white pepita. Obviously a lot easier to see on coloured Pepita.
The black squares are actually rectangles and in one direction are joined by a black diagonal line. So, being wider than high, they appear as a wider line vertically from old pics Ive seen. But its hard to be certain.
And Im just anal enough to be annoyed at myself if I turn up at a car thing and someone says the inserts are 90 degrees out.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Cheers
