Really beautiful work. What materials did you end up using?

Wow, those look really nice!

If mine come out half as good, I will be extremely pleased. Please do tell on the material selection/source.

For the front seat bolsters and back;
Oxen MBL-4855 silver
http://www.morbern.com/product/677
For the front seat basket weave insert;
Purchased two "blanks" that a trim company embosses with a pattern close to original. (One blank was sufficient to complete both seats. I ordered tow for fear that one blank was not enough for both seats.) The trim company will no longer sell the blanks, which they use for German car reupholster, for fear that the blanks will end up in a competitors interior kit.
For the rear jump seats:
Oxen MBL-4855 black

I think the upholster broke more than a couple of needles sewing the vinyl!

Refurbishment of Takubo hydraulic 1.5 ton jack and handle:
The closest color match I have found in an aerosol paint is Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Gloss Colonial Red.

Unfortunately, since my Patrol interior is #524 Pagoda Red color, the jack and handle's color will not be as noticeable.

Looks great Keith-
Now get busy and find
ME a jack, would ya...?????
I think the jack and lug wrench are the last two tools I need for my 62's toolbox to be complete. (assuming that the box itself is still sitting in Leslie's spare parts room with my fuel pump and hand crank...

)
