Pepita or pascha seat covers for a mid year?
I have a 1976 911S for which the seats need to be recovered.
I was thinking about going with leather covers with either a pepita (houndstooth) or a pascha insert in the seats. I have searched and found the fabric to make the inserts, but I was hoping to find the actual entire seat covers, ready to go. Has anyone seen a vendor that makes leather seat covers with either of these inserts already installed? Thanks in advance for your input. |

You can have a decent local upholstery shop made them for you.
Personally, I think Pepita is appropriate for any sportscar. Pascha is very '80s.

Thanks. I was hoping to find a set of covers 'ready to go' that I can have a local installer replace for me.

You may find that the cost for your upholstery guy to replace the insert is not much more than just the install. It is worth asking.

looks like pascha was an option throughout the 911sc's run ('78-83) -- see https://www.early911sregistry.org/forums/showthread.php?103422-pasha-fabric -- a friend had blue pascha with blue leather highlights in his petrol blue SC targa and (imo) it fit in really well with the g body look.

Pepita could brighten a dark interior up... Custom seats for my ‘76 coupe - never ending project.

I will second the “recommendation of Macroni” above about Classic 9 Leather Shop located in Dearborn, Michigan ".
However since you are in the LA area you should try Autos International. I believe this company makes some Porsche 911 seat covers. Dave

I bought pepita covers for my '78 at Lakewell in Belgium and really enjoy them. Given the distance, fast shipping to the USA.
