Does anyone have an idea where I can find material like this pattern. I believe it is white as the rest of the seat is white unless someone knows different.

You might try SMS uphostery in Oregon. They can make just about any obsolete fabric. Pricey and not to quick. I priced some fabric for a 74 Maverick a while back. 100.00 a yard and maybe 4 to 6 month wait.

That was the exact same material I just stripped off a seat that I took a picture of recently and posted to forum. I went with vinyl and never found a replacement for that fabric.

Thanks y'all. It sucks. Because the Cushion inserts and skirting are the only things jacked up. The back and center is perfect. May just save the back and just buy a cover. I was really hoping for white. But it is a budget build. And to change those inserts will require all of it to be changed. May have to go red.

Budget builds mean whatever material you can get. In my experience if I were to do this seat again I would use EXPO bodycloth.
