[Healeys] Upholstery questions!

[Rich C]

Hi Randy,

As a Healey archaeologist, how much research have you carried out and how 
accurate do you wish to be? <grin>

I am quite willing to help you with a lot of carefully researched and known 
data and photos as long as you are interested in doing the right thing.
