Where have you looked so far?  

One source is http://www.zcarparts.com .  However, they are currently out of stock and taking orders.

Do you need to replace/rebuild the seat foam and strapping, too?  My 4/71 240Z is in need of a complete refurb of the seats.  I have new foam and am waiting for upholstery to be back in stock.

Yes, thats nomaly my Source and i wrote them, if they will have them back in Stock ... but i got no answer.

So i just have to place an order?

Yes, if you place an order they will NOT charge your credit card until they have stock on hand.  

That way, you lock in a place in line.  I did that in late April and am waiting.  They will notify me before charging my card and shipping.

Keith, thanks for sharing.  I've owned my Z for 50 years and have reupholstered the seats twice last century.  When my upholstery comes in it will be my first attempt this century.

To quote Yoda, "Do or do not.  There is no try."  

We'll see how my arthritic hands do with it this time.

Dennis,

I prefer not to offer any negative comments in the setting of a public forum.  (Unfortunately, my experience has had it's ups and downs, due greatly to suppliers of products.)

I only extended an offer to personally share recent experiences with you.  However, if you prefer a sanitized summary of my experience I can document that here.

No worries.  I thought perhaps your comments were on the process not the vendors.
