MG TD TF 1500 - Upholstery kit

I am in the market to purchase a TD upholstrey kit. Moss part number 245-400 (red). They list the price at US$589.95, I have the seat upholstery. Can anyone recommend a source value for money.
I have to watch the prices very closely for transport costs from the States to Australia are extremely high with the full cost nearly double.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you order through Little British Car Company, theres about a 15-20% discount over the Moss prices.

I bought a full kit for my TF from a supplier who lists on "Fleabay". Very happy with the quality and attention to detail. Bonus was the time frame was when the $A was very strong against the $US.

I suggest you contact "Sportsparts" here in Aus they might know someone locally that can assist you.

Hi John,

I bought an upholstery kit for my TD a few years ago. I took it to a trimmer so he could fit the seat covers properly. He had to adjust the covers so they were a snug fit and he said it would have been cheaper to let him make the whole lot from scratch. At least there are no carriage costs via this route. Just a wee point of interest for you - the trimmer had spent 20 years working in Australia on classic cars before returning to Scotland.

...I had a fabricator say the same thing about the Moss top I took to have fitted... He said he could have made it from scratch cheaper..
The seats are not overly complicated...I ended up making my seat bottoms from a piece of leather....only 3 pieces....and some channeling....
