Soft top restitching

[Daveb99]

Anybody know a decent place to get some restitching done on an Elise S1 soft top - ideally in the Midlands.    Just a bit of stitching on the header rail it seems (the bit that contains the plastic strip).

How bad is it?, my other half hand stitched one on my S1 following the holes that are already in the plastic strip, secret was to use a very strong thread from the local haberdashery. Failing that Allon White are very good

Cheers Jonathan - you've echoed my thoughts - our daughter has a Textiles GCSE so I'll give her the job!   Failing that I was also thinking Allon White as they always do a top job.

I’m sure I read recently that Option 1 at  Bromsgrove have a trimmer on board, tho’ their new website doesn’t specifically say so!

I used this bloke to restitch the exact same bit on my S1 hood. He's done a few different bit and bobs for me

PJS Sportscars have a tame trimmer who does work for them as needed. They are in Burton and the trimmer is somewhere between them and Shropshire. Give PJS a call and see what they recon. He did my carpet mat and it looks very good.
