1993 NA Limited edition. I just purchased in Nth Queensland and the Leather seats (Tan) are quite sad. I am looking as replacement seat covers that look and fit like original.
at a reasonable price. there are a number of people offering replacement covers I would like some feed back from people who have seen or purchased seat covers.
thanks Graemecns

A number of forumites have bought leather seat covers from here:
Clarence Choo, X-Otic leather, Unit 2, 50-52 Delby Street, Silverwater NSW 2128 0408 268 888 or 02 9648 2282, 6am-3pm Mon-Fri.

There's also Bochini on ebay:

Many years ago a few installed Katzkin, but IMO the fit is sub-standard, ie. lots of wrinkles and lumps.... just looked eeerrggh, and they are supposed to be one of the best available, and certainly at their prices you would expect it... but no.

As clubman inferred, for best result, take/send your seats to an upholsterer for proper, custom fit.

You could consider lambswool covers made to fit the existing units. Well worth getting quotes from a trimmer on the existing and maybe use cloth.

So only 100 uses for a dead kat.
Someone was asking about neoprene seat covers for an NA earlier this year, but didn't seem to be any around. Reminded me of this old Darwin Award: http://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1995-05.html

Problem with lambswool is if you're head is already almost touching the top then the lambswool makes you sit higher again, which also means the steering wheel can obscure the speedo. Think you'll find OP wants to stick with tan leather due to it being for an LE.
