Dad did the seat in the '65, and may still have the patterns he used. I have two '66 seats, one is too good to tear apart for patterns and the other has at least the original back rest; I need to take the rest of the newer cover off to see it's condition.
The 64-65 deluxe seats are easy to reproduce, they're just sewn together. The '66 deluxe seats have heat seams that would need to be replicated to be 100% correct. I believe SMS is able to heat seam the white stripe to replicate the original covers, not aware of anyone else offering the service.
This is not the correct fawn vinyl, but the cloth is NOS.
