It's amazing how thick powder coating can be and how it can affect fine tolerances.'Brake servo measuring tool for sale' should definitely be offered in your sig! ________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Good day Tom,I know it is many years ago,since you repaired the side bolster , and if you remember from which vehicle you matched the fabric of the sides/bolster for the rallye seat? https://i.imgur.com/eighrlol.jpg Looking to fix back mine ,as the previous owner has replaced it in the past but it with not the same!I have read that this fabric for the sides is the same from old Golf but was not able to find suitable one!  |

It'd cost more to post than it costs to make, but thanks.marksorrento205 wrote: Result the strip and rebuild worked well. I shall take a look at mine next time the engine is out of it, cheers Cheers. I had my cams out so there was just enough space to wriggle the servo out. panosbr wrote: Looking to fix back mine ,as the previous owner has replaced it in the past but it with not the same!I have read that this fabric for the sides is the same from old Golf but was not able to find suitable one! It was just the vinyl section I replaced and my local trimmer just happened to have an exact match for that! The black fabric part you're looking to replace looks to be available in two types - there's a close weave and more open weave. I know this as, most of the seats in my car are the more open weave type whilst the rear bench (bottom part) is the closer weave. I replaced the bottom part of the rear bench as my original one had a cigarette burn in it. There's a seller who does new 205 GTi seat covers. He stocks a black 'needle point(?)' fabric that looks close. Edit: can't find a link for the fabric mentioned above but, maybe this? ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

Thanks for the comment.Should ask for a sample of this 207/407 to review. There is a thread were is mentioned that this side black fabric can be matched from VW Golf old models. Maybe this also could be close : https://tissens.com/en/automotive-yougtimers-fabrics/2403-genuine-side-fabric-for-volkswagen-golf-gti.html |
