I am not trying to install it myself as I am hopeless with any cloth that doesn't require epoxy. I have a professional interior guy (his full-time job is custom interior work on biz-jets) doing the installation. It is coming out pretty nice, but if I were going to do it again, I think that I'd save the time and weight and just paint the interior with something like Zolatone. Then add just some real nice seats from someone like Oregon Aero. Just my 2 cents worth. Your mileage certainly will vary.

Bob Borger ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:43:30 AM PST US From: "UVTReith" Subject: AW: Europa-List: Europa upholstery Mike, I would suggest to get the Interior kit from Europa (they have it also in leather) and look for a local guy, who could do it for you. My upholstery was made by www.europa-aircraft.cz . Including material (velour) they do it for about 1.100 GBP. I gave them some leather and Alcantara, saved some money but got it to my liking. They need to do it by a Profi within one month. But I guess Vlasim - 60 km south-east of Prague - will be too far away from your location.

Mike, You might check out matronics photoshare for Justin Kennedy's narrative & pixs...I've used them as a guide...pretty straightforward...though I've yet to have my covers sewn which I'll have done at a local boat cushion shop.

I'm 98% delighted with the result. In my view it was worth, a) paying the extra for leather (looks great and hasn't been uncomfortable on hot days), and b) paying Matt to fit it (I've seen some DIY efforts which are sort of OK but Matt is a pro who has done dozens of them and he doesn't charge too much), and, c) getting the sculpted seat backs from him. Shame he doesn't do stick boots as well but the ones from Tim Ward in NZ are excellent. If you get Matt to supply and fit you'll have to take the a/c to Perranporth and scrounge some space in a hanger for a couple of days.
