Daleys, Nolan Warehouses and UDA, they are all on the 'net and each have an office in all capital cities.

Original colours? You should be able to find something suitable at any of those establishments.

Original texture? Hmm, depends how authentic you're aiming for. The vinyl generally sold today has a very different grain to the "Elascofab" material that FE/FC Specials were trimmed with originally. Get hold of a piece of original material to compare to anything you're looking at on a roll.

SMS auto fabrics in the US might be able to help with seat,door trim material. I sent them a sample of fall red out of my FE and they matched it perfectly, colour and pattern. I also sent them a headlining sample but alas they don't have a perfect match.   dave

Jason, I suggest you see Evans Trim Shop in Toowoomba, they might be able to help. Have been around a while I think.  They are also Rare Spares agents in Toowoomba.   I have found them good to deal with.   Mike.

A huge thanks to all that answered my post and I will try all avenues to find the closest match to my interior. Is there anyone that has an offcut that they can post to me at my cost of the two colours or one of them as I have no seats in the FE whatsoever.
cheers jason
