Thanks Rob,
I’m going to use the standard elephant hide seats. Non adjustable.
Hi Mike

I thought you had brought the adjustable rails for the driver and passenger sides.

Hi Mike,

In my experience the seat retaining straps available from Exmoor etc are inferior to the originals, they are much thinner.

I would suggest going to a local saddler or leather worker and having a set made.

  I guess I got the last Elephant hide Dormobile seat covers about 2 years ago, just lucky I guess.
 They fit very nicely, the fellow who installed them for me thought they were very well done, I am happy with them.
  I was also able to buy Elephant hide by the yard, roomer has it they no longer sell it separately.

Matt,picking up on the straps, there are 2 sizes 100mm and 140mm as I don’t have the old ones which are correct?

Both I believe as the longer ones are for the bases, shorter for the backs but I'll measure my originals to check.

Out of interest, does anyone know of a supplier of the elephant hide material?

Would anyone also be kind enough to post some pictures of the underside of the seats?

TIA
