Re: [alfa] leather dye on TVR

["Guy Weller" <Guy.Weller@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glenn,
I happen to have a connection with the owners of one of the UK (actually,
Scottish) companies that supply the leather for TVRs (amongst other cars)
I can maybe find out what the dye process is and what they advise.  I am
surprised that it is "flaking off" if it is a true dye.
The company I know, pride themselves on their very long history in the
leather trade, and on the quality of the materials and processes used.
Of course, TVR may use more than 1 supplier.

Guy
