Redoing Sunpad 88 272 SR1
 

Hey Guys:
Any helpful hints when having sunpad redone? What questions to ask shop? Someone told me to ask for gortex thread. Anyone living in Buffalo, NY area that could recommend someone?

If I was doing it I would contact Mcleod ... they can furnish the same covers ... you could get a local shop to recover the backing ... it might need replacing though ...m

In the process of doing mine. Not hard at all. Got new skins directly from formula. Everything is working out great so far. Made some new decks and got foam of the web and ordered vinyl already re sewn. Just have to staple back onto the plywood. Hopes that helps. Mark

Just ordered from formula all new skins should be here in three weeks. :drink: 272 FORMULA FOR SALE :D

Hello, I'm from Buffalo also, did you just buy the 272? I thought I had them all marked in are area, there are several of us who have Formula's in the area. Anywayz stich in time on Union road does it in the off season, tell him Sam sent you, however if your gonna do do it really quick he wom't take any ulphostery work once we get near season, he just does it to fill in the winter months, I frequent SW alot more often if your over there put up some pics. what color combo do you have?
Sam

Thanks Sam. I think I looked at yours last year but decided to go to 272 so the family has a little more room. I will be listing the boat to sell very soon. Life is too busy to enjoy it right now. Color combo: mostly black with red and gray. It was Brian's boat.

ook I thought that boat left the area, didnt see it after he sold it

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I did end up finding someone to redo the sunpad. Great website!! Great Members!!

who did you go too? let me know how it turns out? are u redoing to be origanal?

Just dropped off my engine hatch and rear bench seat cushions for redo. EXT2GTX (friends) had some Pachanga cushions done by this upholsterer, came out very nice. So, my 311 will have a face lift too. Bought the vinyl direct from McLoed, vintage 1989 white. Hoping it comes out nice.
