• Air bag seats
    I think it means that the sewing machine is using a computer that checks if everything is sewn properly like this Durkopp Adler machine:

  • Air bag seats
    When I do this, I always first examine how a strong thread was used on both sides of the original cover (sometimes # 40 + # 40, sometimes # 30 + # 40, sometimes # 30 + # 80 ...) and what was the stitch length and I it same.
  • Trim fixing /panel clips
    I have good experience with this type of clips:

    The same type is used in OEM door panels, in your case they will work just as well...why not?
  • Auto Carpet
    Dynamat is too expensiv, you pay too much for name. In trade exist a lot of similar deadening materials. I (in Europe) use russian STP, it works great (I wrote that russian army use it for their tanks :-D - so itmean that it's tasted for wide range of the temperatures) and price is much much better.
    For noise and temperature dampening I use 8-15 mm closed cell foam with self-adhesive layer. It's better than jute. It's very light and work much better.
    I use carpets from UK Coverdale whith latex rubber backing. How do you sew 2 pieces of carpet together? I sew them about 1 cm from the edge, but it has happened to me that when I munted it in the place of complicated curvature the surface the seam ripped from the carpet and the carpet split :-( How to prevent this and insure the seam?

  • Patterning techniques
    I use a transparent plastic foils in which suppliers send me the material - it works well, it's thin so it can be archived in office files ... and it's free, I don't have to buy it anywhere (and I recycle - I save nature ;-) )
  • Cloth for Porsche 914 / VW Scirocco I
    where you buy headliner fabric for Porsche? I can't found the right perforated fabric, everybody have perforation for Mercedes which is different :-/
  • Joining businesses
    The question is if you want to build your own name and brand or build a joint project tag. I have experience when the joint project has collapsed (not my fault) and all the energy invested in building a common brand was useless and now I have to build my own brand. It's not easy to keep a long-term Brand where you are not the only one owner.
