I've used Tony O'Connor at Eldorado in the past and he's pretty damn good. As Hodaka says, he's not cheap but you get what you pay for in this world. If you want good, you pay. He did a magnificent job on AJs American Eagle.
I also use a local guy on Seven Hills Road in Seven Hills but I haven't got his details, I just know how to drive there ::). He did my Cheney and B&S Suzuki and I'm happy as shit with the result. These guys will soon be doing the hood liner in my Jag and I wouldn't give that job to just anybody. The son of HEAVEN former HEAVEN president Kelvin Moore works there and he actually did my Cheney. Nice kid.

Thanks Doc. Wonder if he is related to Andrew Moorhouse who used to operate as Two Wheel Trimmers? Cheers

I recently needed some upholstery done on four old style bucket seats and some solo seats. Didn't know where to go. Noticed one particular upholster always had a classic car or hotrod hanging out the door so
I thought they must be the hot ticket. Did a very good job, I was really happy with it. I also got to check out quite a few cars they were doing. All very nice.
They also do bike seats at a pretty reasonable price. I asked about modifying one of my seats to make it more comfortable and he said $60 to rework the foam and $120 all up if it needs new vinyl. John morrehouse lists rider seat mods at $280 and rider pillion seat mods at $420
The owner Bob is an old hot rod gearhead. It's called B&L upholsery at 35 Moss st Slacks creek.

I used John Moorhouse to fit my seat cover that I was struggling to get fitted right. He did an awesome job with the use of some hot air to get it perfect 1 hour turnaround on a Saturday morning and cost me $20. I was a happy camper ;D ;D

For those in Sydney north/west, Mark was able to remember enough for me to locate it. Just over the Seven Hills bridge on the left, (just where the Terminus road rejoins the main road) heading toward the M7 etc. is a two-car shed sized work area, set back about 20m from the roadway. The fence has "Motor Trimmer" and you have arrived.

Very nice chap and clearly has a ton of work.

Glad you found them Luke. I'm sorry I was so obscure with my initial directions but I think we all have those situations where we know how to get somewhere but never take note of the actual address. For 20 years I thought my life long best mate lived on Warragamba road when it was actually Warradale. In all of that time I'd never noticed the street sign or discussed his address. I must ask if he ever got our Christmas cards. ::)
Remembering the name of the upholsterer took the total of two brains stretched over a four hour period. Damn it's fun being old! :-\
