I bought mine from Dean a few months ago - looks great, good price.
Several of the other vendors also carry interior kits.

Subject: R U Interested in complete Upholstery Kit?
The WyCROC Founder's Team has found a company that has indicated they
would
be interested in making a full Upholstery Kit for the 68 - 70 Roadsters
(other models later). This company has already created a kit for the
Pantera's and they do "quality work." The Upholstery Kit would include
seats, door panels, kick and rear panels, deck, and possibly the visors.
Might set it up Seats only or complete kit, depending on response.
Traditionally, if an upholstery shop has the ability to buy a KIT and
just
need to install, the costs could be as much as 1/3 less. As example,
with
kit a shop may charge $100 per seat, whereas from scratch $350.00 --
$400.00
per seat. The Seat Kit may be priced (depending on factors - AND YOU
CAN'T
HOLD US TO THIS RIGHT NOW) at around $250 -- $300. That would give you
seats
for around $500 a pair verses $700 or more, and the quality of the kit
would
make it cleaner, better quality and easier all around.
For them to put the time and money into the development and production
of
these kits they need to know if there is a market out there
(international
included). They would need an initial indications that there are at
least 25
sets that could be sold over the next year. The other informational
items
they want to know is the following:
Concerning the Seats:
They would produce with the Datsun original diamond pattern insert - How
many
want original design, and what colors (if other than black or red)?
How many would want a cloth insert instead of the diamond pattern vinyl?
How many would want a total cloth face on the seat?
Other points of information, the door panels would be factory original
style.
Would there be an interest in a TOTAL interior kit (to include the
carpeting)?
We are compiling information over the next week or so, to see if there
is a
market for this kit. Please let us know if you would buy into the
program
(please be serious). Once we determine if there is a market, then we
will go
back to them with the results of this survey, and work towards specific
pricing and time on availability's.
Please pass this information to any other roadster owners that may not
be on
this list and have them reply to either this email or
gary@teletrade.net.
