westfalia atlantic trim

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   for a while now i`ve been trying to source a cloth that is the same as or very close to the atlantic style trim with no luck. even finding trimming cloth in a small enough pattern to look any good is difficult, most stuff looks like it would be more at home on my mothers 3 piece suite and not in a car. i`d like to trim the syncro in oe style cloth and i also need some custom style cloth for the 2wd westy.

so can any of you help me out, gunzel seems to sell certain items in the atlantic cloth but it would work out very expensive to buy it in large quantities. 

thanks lee.

	Hi Lee I've been looking for 3 years with no joy, I even contacted Westfalia and had no luck. So if you do track some down let me know. I even joined a weaving forum to find out more (shit don't tell anyone that) as I did think about make my own or getting some made but lost interest.

	Thought it couldn't be only me. Seems highly unlikely nothing similar out there but it does seem to be the case. Lee.

	Gunzl is going to produce it, spoke to him at Vanfest, he has another couple of patterns to do first (has to get 2000m done at once) and its bloody expensive to be made, so he's doing in in stages. He reckoned possibly May next year...

	I bought a set of upper bed cushions off ebay for £60 and have used the cover material for a replacement curtain and seat base which had fag burn etc. Still got plenty left as well. Next job is a bog box cushion. Keep a look out on the ebay etc. Stuff does come up now and then if your lucky.

	thats really good news but at what cost. i`d swap my left bollock for some but if its more than £10 / meter it can wait.

	Err, so your left bollock is worth less than a tenner
