Posted July 15, 200717 yr comment_215143 My '71 is badly in nead of some new upholstery. the original seats are a vinyl two-tone color butterscotch, dark center (ginger looking) and butterscotch sides and back. I would like to stay with this. I have see a few places advertising this combo but after inquiry for purchase they tell me they are out and won't get anymore material. Does anyone know where I can still get the two-tone combo? if not, does anyone have a picture of the one color butterscotch or the vinyl fabric center combo in vinyl. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Seats are out of the car and I want to drive.

July 15, 200717 yr Author comment_215148 Thanks for the quick reply. I sent them an email with the question. Nothing on their web site addressed seat upholstery so I hadn't tried them.

July 16, 200717 yr Author comment_215228 Thanks, but unfortunately they no longer have Butterscotch even though it shows on site. I've tried and have "no's" from - Zspecialties Les @ Classic Datsun Motorsports Too Intense Restoration/Datsun Restore I have inquiries into - zzxdatsun.com/Banzai Motorworks upgrademotoring.com datsunspirit.com datsunzparts.com Zedd Findings Maybe one of them will come through for me. Anyone have a photo of a vinyl reupholstered butterscotch seat with solid color throughout? That might be my only option.

July 16, 200717 yr comment_215255 I took my seats to a lady in town that restores and re-covers household furniture, she was more than happy to do it. Auto type shop was more expensive. Had thousands of samples, color, material, leather, cloth, plastic, vinyl, etc. I wanted cloth and more padding in the sides and headrest. She took old set apart using them as patterns and I had new custom seats in less than a week for $200 each. Just an idea for you to get what YOU want.Bonzi Lon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24896-butterscotch-seat-question/#findComment-215255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 18, 200717 yr Author comment_215450 Try Datsun Spirit http://www.datsunspirit.com/26th-Z,Thanks for putting me onto Datsun Spirit. Even though they don't list seat kits on their site they can get them. I have placed an order $220 incl. shipping for a L & R. Eiji Hosomi states that he can get the two-tone butterscotch seat vinyl look that will keep me like original!I'll drop an update in 2-4 wks when they show up. One less crisiZ to deal with in the refurb process. Thanks again for everyone's responses. This site is awesome!
