I am trying to find the actual source of the company that does the correct perforation of the leather for 1965 Eldo seats. Actually, Back on 10 November, I ordered leather from the only known active supplier of correct materials. Told them I NEEDED this ASAP.. and to get it moving. They agreed. I asked when, was told 3-4 weeks. So I checked in after the holidays and was told "any day" I got a SAMPLE (not perforated) in the mail on 6 Feb. with color, close but not as expected.
Made a call-- finally got a reply that if I liked the color, they would proceed and it would take 3-4 weeks.... 

AHK!  SO-------  Now I went to my local leather supply, I HAVE the color, close---- But the perforation service that I know of does not have the correct die...  ANYONE KNOW WHO HAS IT? I would like to send out one hide RIGHT NOW and get this going.

Just a quick update. Since all the messages I was reading seemed to say the Jenkins had shut down, I decided to call myself and see what happened. Hill Jenkins answered the phone. he has the die and an do what I need. Kind of woke me up that i should always go direct to the source and not believe what you are told.
