Pallex fabric used on reproduction seat covers

Hi,

As repro seat covers don't exist for Lear Siegler seats, I will have to make new seats covers myself.

It's a little hard to find the right fabric, so does anyone knows who makes the Pallex cloth used on reproduction seat covers ? Or know where to order it ?
I know it's not an exact match but it must be pretty close to what was used originally.

Thanks !

Re: Fabric used on reproduction seat covers

I'm confused, your profile says Trans Am yet you're looking for Lear Siegler seat covers which are Camaro. Kidding, of course

Check Hawks, a board sponsor. I redid my 89 RS with a set from them and the results were awesome. They also advertise the Lear Siegler covers in a selection of 4 colors.

Re: Fabric used on reproduction seat covers

I know about Camaro L/S Conteur seats, but they were also used on Firebirds from 1983 to 1986 and both front seats had the adjustable pad.
1983 and 1984-later covers differ slightly.

The closest match are those but the front bottoms would have to be modified for the adjustable pad.

Re: Pallex fabric used on reproduction seat covers

That clears up some confusion. I knew of the Camaro ones and some special edition ones for the Trans Am but not what they were called. Good luck with the search.

Re: Pallex fabric used on reproduction seat covers

If you search for 'pallex', the second result in the list will give you one source.
