I am looking for pictures of the seat back upholstery on a 19 roadster. I am especially interested in the area of the arm rests and where the body dips down from the top bow saddle bracket to the arm rest. I want to know how close the upholstery follows the body contour. Inside and outside views with the top up would be great. If anyone has a roadster of this style I sure would appreciate some photos. The upholstery I did on my 15 touring and 08 sr follow the body contour very closely, but the kit that came with this project seems to a hopeless effort, padding too stiff and just not enough lateral length to cover the arm rest and keep the pleats nice and vertical. Before I buy a seat back from Clastique. I want to make sure it is not total operator error. By the way this is a cartouche kit, but is probably 20 years old.

Thanks Van

still looking for some pictures. Don't want to start an upholstery brand discussion, just want to see what I am shooting for as far as pleat alignment and contour to the body.

Thanks

Here are some pictures that might help from the Mercury News.
