I've been googling around for hours and can't find anyone that sells just the basic stuff that I can attach myself. All I want is a piece of waterproof, imitation-leather vinyl.

Please could get some ideas? Cheers.

They sell kit for them on ebay.

'They' being the cnuts who sell them.

e.g.

sarcy reply: took me 2 seconds to type 'vinyl fabric' into ebay's search box

normal reply: most fabric/upholsterers should carry stock cut to measure.

when i did mine i found a shop in a nearby town and got exactly what i wanted cut to order Smile

Thanks chaps.

That ebay photo is stupid, why not picture what they're actually selling? I guess I'll have to go for, as its the onky option.

Cnuts.

have you tried Dunelm Mill? I got a load of vinyl from there to cover a bass speaker cab for about £15. might be worth a look.

To add to the earlier suggestions...
Upholsterers.
See if you can beg an offcut.
