Original Tweed Fabric

I have a 1990 NA with the Dark Grey Tweed fabric interior. The Bolster on the Drivers Seat is worn from normal use over the last 30 years, looking to see if there is a good option to replace/restore the seat. Anything like this available, have done some web searches with no luck. Thanks for any help.

Hard to find that material. Most get new skins. I found a RHD that was parting out and I bought the left seat and swapped the covers over to mine. Cost be $75 bucks and a couple hours.

Thanks for the reply, have been watching eBay for awhile, no luck yet.

Got a picture of the tweed? I might have a small sheet of it, would need an upholstery guy to sew it in. I can have a look if you are interested.
Here is what it look like: Same as your???

Do you still have that Nissan beige tweed sheet?
The picture doesn't seem to be the same fabric. Is it the same as the current fabric on the seat?
If so, is it enough to cover the entire side seat bolster on the driver's side?
Need it for my 1990 Z32 300ZX

Grey tweed not beige. I might have to rotate the sheet to match the orientation of the weaves.
Also remember seats are 30 years old with wear and tear vs new unused.
