Just after a bit of advise, my original devon interior panels/cards were covered in a very thin vinyl, by the looks of it it was done at the time of the original coversion. Was just wondering if anything simular was still available. I have used the original panels as templates to make some new ones out of plywood.. Any advise would be greatfully recieved
yes but you need to sorce it from a proper coachtrimmer with good stock.....the best place I've come across is Segals' in Manchester....they have all the usual stuff (scrim, hooding, headlining,leather, piping, rubber, mouldings, seals, fasteners, adhesives, sundries etc, and stock some really good quality Vynide, Ambla, Sunbrella etc. plus old British made vinyl that makes the TMI stuff look like sticky back plastic...Worth the trip if you're fairly local....http://www.segalmotortrimmings.net/ it's like a trip down memory lane in there...they have all the old british leyland bus cloth and stuff for train seating....you could spend hours in there if that's your thing...
just seen you're in suffolk....bit of a trek! But, if you know exactly what your looking for, send them a sample....pretty confident they can find a good match last time i was there they had the off white slub vinyl (bit like anaglypta) that devon used to use on the side panels....long time ago though
No pics im afraid, the old panels were completely shot so i made templates and binned them. Manchester is a bit far for me, im in Suffolk..shame as that sounds like somewhere id like to have a look around
Thanks Vanorak, and thanks Ermintrude, ill have a double check i have a feeling i may have one of the smaller panels still kicking about fingers crossed
Cheaper to look out for a earli old vinal clad settee from a junk shop I did a back peice and it looks the same as origional and cheaper.
Think im sorted now, went to the range of all places, they had a very simular thickness vinyl (colour is a little more beige) for £5.90 a metre i can live with that
Most likely! We have a "The Range" store near us, but the problem I find is the rapid stock turnover. If you see something and don't buy, it won't be there next time. Possibly this - although there's no picture: http://www.therange.co.uk/cream-vinyl-2-meters//the-range/fcp-product/83782 Brown (with pic): http://www.therange.co.uk/cadbury-brown-vinyl-2-metres//the-range/fcp-product/83781 Black (with pic): http://www.therange.co.uk/black-vinyl-2-metres//the-range/fcp-product/83780
apprently the cream vinyl is only availible via mail order from the range but they dont provide a picture; cant provide a sample and cant confirm its the same quality as the brown or black in store!!
