I hope this is not already common knowledge but I thought I would share with anyone in the same position.

My black cloth seats started out looking good but due to wear and fragility are now letting the car down.
I have used up all my original spare cloth and new replacement cloth is not available.

After lots of searching I have found that Ford black Beta fabric is almost identical.
A car trimmer could run a vertical stitch down it and only an expert could tell the difference in my opinion.
It is top quality, foam backed and lined, and feels really strong. It is of course the most expensive fabric
on suppliers lists but it IS readily available and I reckon one metre would re-trim both front seats.

I have re trimmed the drivers back rest in the Ford cloth. The seat base is genuine Daf. To me, that is a good enough match.
