Can anyone point me in the right direction on finding some of this.
I have tried several places but it just isn't out there. Even Global couldn't help. Anyway this is it, I think it's called ribbed cordroy. Cheers, JD ![]() ![]()

You may want to try this mod on the front seats, if you are tall. I'm 6'2" and have done this on an XB, XC, XE, and a ZL Fairlane.
Where the rear of the front seats bolt to the floor there are two brackets. A short one and a longer one. Remove both and put the shorter one where the longer one was. Then bolt the seat back in. Result is a greater angle to the seat base. Much improved leg support. |

I don’t think anyone makes repro GXL cord cloth, although because it wears pretty well compared to houndstooth (which is available through Global) I think the best bet would be to find another set of ginger/saddle GXL seats, and use the covers to repair yours. If required, you could perhaps re-dye the fabric to match.
This is what I did with my black GXL interior. Cheers

Thanks SSVPom, just don't see these seats come up in Perth. The set I have now are the first ones I've seen. The back seat is great, drivers seat is well worn and ripped.
Re dye is a good idea.

Prostitch in Carlton Sydney have a good knowledge and stock a selection of the classic materials. I could not obtain any Ginger vinyl for my XC and they directed me to a Holden material so close to the Ford Ginger and matched my door trims almost perfectly.Cheers

Had no idea that Carlton was even a suburb of Sydney, so looked it up on google maps....only to find it was a couple of suburbs away from where I used to live in Sans Souci. Never heard of it for the whole 18 months I lived there! ![]()

Good news too, looks like I've found some material a guy was selling on Gumtree. Not exact, but damned close, it'll do for now and only $50. Enough to do front and back, very happy.

![]() Try Global Trim in regional VIC https://globaltrim.com.au/ The owner Ben is an ex motor trimmer from Ford Australia, and specialises in oldskool Ford stuff. Also a very nice person who is passionate about what he does and loves Ford. Give him a call, just because he doesnt list something on his website doesn't mean he can't help. |

Upon arrival it is a bit darker, only a few shades though, so wondering if what I'm comparing it too is faded. Anyway, enough to do front and back. I've tried GlobalTrim. Everything but. Even checked a few US websites, no luck. By the way, same material used in ZH Fairlanes if you see an interior for sale.
