wow that's amazing- did they put a new patch in or something?

who did it?

there's a chappy on ih8mud who can supply full leather re-skinning kits, but with the exchange rate at the moment they are a bit pricey!

Company in Hemel Hempstead Herts did it, yes it's a new strip of leather & all the padding underneath has been done, the also backed a couple of other places where the leather had started to crack, going to give it the hide care treatment now to soften it up.

Was it Hukes on Queensway?

Edit.

See from your other post that it was. Yes they are a really decent old school upholsterers, just down the road from where I used to live.

Look in the Book for ACR Hukes in Queensway, Hemel Hempstead. They are really easy to find, turn up Queensway from the Marlowes and they are on the right in a parade of shops just before the Fire Station.

Nope, just removed the seat & dropped it off to them one lunch time, picked it up next afternoon.
