k4mrc Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 We are very lucky - use an upholsterer, who every now and then brings in a great big bag of his scraps - we have to cut him some keys last time i think it was about 4 cylinder keys he thinks he is on a winner, as he just throws it all away - so look for you local upholsterer and get his scrap, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
