Paul, If you don't mind me asking where did you purchase your 750 seat cover from?

Re: GT750a Seat Cover Recommendations
If I can put my two pennies in. The best I've used are also from Pitstop Replicas. They are a lot better in that they have the original style finished edge to them with a plastic stiffener fitted. A lot of seat covers have no finished edges and you are left with loads of material to trim.

Re: GT750a Seat Cover Recommendations
Was the pattern the same as factory? I bought one from Pit replica(I have bought from them before without issue) and the moulded pattern isn't close to the original onecanaletto5 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 8:57 am If I can put my two pennies in.

The one in Paul's picture looks closer to original.

Mine were for an A model 550 and a B model kettle. Both spot on but the photo you have posted is disappointing

Re: GT750a Seat Cover Recommendations
To be honest it was a few years ago when I did the Kettle, all I can tell you was it was an eBay seller. Sorry

Did this one on a GT250K from Pit Replicas a couple of years back and it was spot on

Re: GT750a Seat Cover Recommendations
I've gotten onto a guy out here who claims to have "near exact" reproduction seat covers for sale. He says he's not tech savvy but will try to shoot me a picture today.
Or I'll just keep scouring Ebay 'till I find another that looks presentable(I have found a couple of candidates so far).

Re: GT750a Seat Cover Recommendations
I caught up with the "seat" guy today, he didn't have any pics to show me as he doesn't have any covers at the moment, But he did send me a pic of the fixture he uses to mould his own pattern on the top section(out of respect I can't post the pic), he said he should have a cover made for me by the end of next week
Price was around £83, which I think is more than reasonable for a custom made cover.
