Fabric covered Austin 7’s

[Ian Williams]

Of the vinyls Everflex would be my choice, the grain is very similar to period Rexine samples that I have in my collection, I covered a couple of body's in this, after 30 plus year's of service there was still no sign of deterioration. I would suggest that it is important to first use the the traditional cotton wadding underlay held in place with calico, this gives the correct appearance, I have seen thin foam used however this always looks overstuffed to my eyes.
