Bench seat cover

I don't think there is a Bench Seat Cover available per se... but you might try Auto's International from the links page just to see what they say.

There is a lot to getting one of these seats just right. I would use a qualified local upholsterer and patterns from your existing seat in this situation and based on your location in AU.

Color and texture matching the material to the balance of your interior is the biggest concern... next is the correct pleat count and width etc... and getting the base to line up with the backs. That last bit is the hardest part on a bench seat and the main reason I say use a local rather than a mail order assembly. It is impossible to know the exact dimensions long distance... and you really want the back pleats to line up with the base pleats.... so you need to have that seat assembled to test this on it prior to sewing up the base cover.
