Default raven leather sections

These are left over Raven leather sections from a complete Granada seat which I bought a while back to use some of it on my Sapphire Cosworth Recaro. If they are any use to anyone with Raven leather seats for a small repair they are free; Just pay for the postage or you can pick them up from Holbury in Southampton. I know when I was looking finding Raven leather is very difficult. Cheers Richard.

The leather is still in really good condition.

Hi Leigh, glad the leather arrived ok. I used some of it on my drivers side Recaro. Not sure what part of your seat you can use it on but you may not be aware that you can still buy brand new Bolster foam sections from Recaro in Germany. The drivers side bolster does get squashed out of shape. The guy in Southampton who repaired mine did a great job. H

New bolster fitted plus new leather from the bolster up to the top of the seat. The Granada Raven leather was a perfect match!!!
ope it goes well.

Hi Richard, yes got them really appreciate it not often these days people give stuff for free thanks a lot.
That looks a nice job. That’s exactly what I need the material for the bolster. Where can you get new foam from?

Hi Leigh,I just looked on google and there are quite a few places you can buy the bolster foam from here in the UK. Have a look as the prices do vary depending on where you get it but it will be no problem to get it. Cheers Richard.

Hi Leigh, my drivers seat was getting a bit tatty with some stitching broken and some bad scuffing etc plus a collapsed bolster which was letting the interior down which is why I got mine sorted.I was very lucky to see on E-bay a Granada Raven leather seat which was complete and was being used as an office chair mounted on a wooden base!! I went and picked it up in my Focus Estate and took it apart to salvage the leather. There should be enough left for your repair. Post some photos when it is finished. I am off to the Classic Ford Show on Sunday in Haywards Heath to display my Saff which should be a good day out!!

Hi, that was a lucky find with that seat. Iv broken loads of granadas over the years but typically didn’t keep any seats, what I had off you is ideal.
The classic ford show looks great always go but can’t make it this year. Iv seen your car a few times at simply ford at beaulie had a chat to you once few years back.
