If you need a new cover, find a local car upholstery shop. I've had a couple seats done that way over the years...I think one cost me $35 and the other was $50.

I can do a standard seat myself, no problem - it was just one of the designs that came up in the advert looked a bit like a Corbin/Sargent seat and would be nice to buy "over the counter" without the Corbin price tag. Remodeling the foam is also quite simple really.
There are I'm sure members who don't all have the luxury of an upholstery guy close by, or have never done a seat before. Easier than it looks......

The seats shown in the post are not 1000F seats, so I kinda doubt that you'll get other than a stock look from what he's selling. Anyhow, this cover is cheaper http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT FWIW, I contacted a previous buyer of this cover (from Australia believe it or not) and he told me that he hadn't mounted the cover yet but that the quality of it was good and it seemed like the fit would be good. One other thing, as shown in the photo, it didn't come with a cutout for the fuel tap.

I got my seat recovered, and was real happy with the outcome. It was my local upholsterer that done it for me. Cost was £25.00 all in.. Here are some pics.
