Did the Chevron Cloth come in different colurs?

-60Y Interior Chamois with Chevron Cloth inserts, what did the Chevron cloth look like for this trim code?

Did Chevron only look like the upper fabric in this pic below? Its becoming a real mission to try and find this stuff.

[hanra]

This came from Ross the Managing Director of Novatex International.

The Chevron cloth is difficult to find, I have personally looked in trimmers racks around the country with no success,

[boomfunk]

Lucky Ross hasnt been everywhere , however its exactly the same thing i told you ages ago when you asked.. you be hard pressed to find it.. i knew this a year ago.. 2 years ago.. someone would have it but finding it ..good luck!

Try SMS... they supplied the sample vinyl
Tell them you want the same but cloth
See if any yankee cars had it

[hanra]

I have just received some samples from SMS. They have said they can supply any of these 3 styles in any colour.

Which of the three samples is the closest to the factory Chevron. I dont care that its not cloth, just want it to look right.

Top left in my original pic is factory Chevron

I assume the vinyl in my pic is the 2nd one you posted

I sent them the samples.. .and thats what they sent me back
So they think thats the closest

[hanra]

Yes, yours is the 2nd Pic i posted. But comparing the original to this, it looks like the arrows in the pattern are wider.... Where as the 1st pic the arrows look a little tighter as per the original Chevron Cloth.


Sooo, would this have been Chamois in colour if used in the -60Y interior? Chamois Vinyl and Chamois Chevron?

[hanra]

Here I finally have 8m of NOS Long Grain Chamois Vinyl and 2m of NOS Chevron Cloth...... What a mission its been to get a hold of this stuff.... At least I should be able to get my interior back to its original -60Y appearance.

[dattoman]

You managed it in less than 3 mths on this site

Can't be that hard then

[hanra]

Well with the help of this forum and knowledgeable members like yourself mate, it made the job possible.

[boomfunk]

Well done!!!, the vinyl i dont think would have been that difficult but the chevron.. wow, looks great

[hanra]

Yes the vinyl isnt really an issue, but that Chevron.......... geeeezzzzz

[dattoman]

I was wondering if it was Boom that supplied it

Will you be revealing your sources ?

I will need some of that chamois long grain myself for my 60A hatch

[hanra]

No it wasnt Boomfunk. And as far as Im aware this was the last of the Chevron Cloth. Unsure about the vinyl...

Im still going to have to track down some chamois vinyl for the headlining, door trims and pillar trims that closely matches this stuff.

[boomfunk]

no deff wasnt me, i given up on chevron long time ago, its just great that you found some

[hanra]

Yep yep!!!!! Im pretty stoked about it!!!!! Just dont have as much confidence in finding some Covert carpet...

[AbsynthHatch]

They do custom colours now days, send them a sample, as a number of Holdens used covert and get them to colour match it.

[hanra]

Right... Just gotta track down a Covert sample then!!!!! Ill have this -60Y interior all sorted!!!!

[AbsynthHatch]

Try Eastern Upholstery, I think thats what they call themselves, they purchased all of Holden's old equipment years ago apperently and specialise in doing early Holden repro interiors

They advertise in Just Parts magazine to, seen some of there work and its first class, he might be able to help you out with the colour of Covert carpet, just a thought and well worth a try

Must catch up soon to, just doing a heap of overtime at the moment.

Chevron Cloth fitted to seats.

[Clearshield]

Where did u get the Chevron cloth mate ?

[hanra]

I think I may have bought the last of it in existence?

[Clearshield]

Thanks Mick,
I spoke with you the other day on the phone. I am the guy with the other Antelope SS like yours !
If you hear of anyone that has the Chevron fabric or can provide the new covers with the Chevron in it please let me know mate.

Jamie

Highly unlikely mate, all of this rare stuff is still around, just depends on how deep your pockets are! I know of trimmers with some really impossible to find NOS material but they like to hold out for that discerning client with a black Amex.
All I can suggest is ask around and you may get lucky.
Cheers Mick.

[hanra]

I thought my pockets were deep enough... $1000 for some cloth...
