I vaguely recall reading a post somewhere that said they were different.

If you can post a good pic of standard Aussie RS seat material I could soon tell you.

I have beta cloth in my MK1 Rs2000, and (enough spare for a retrim) and it is a sort of black velour with embossed rectangles in it (if that makes sense)

There is also 2 other very similar materials, one has squares, and the other just has lines (like cords) but they are trhe same base velour just different patterning.

BTW
The replacement Beta material sold in the UK is not original, it is a remanufactured cloth using slightly different techniques, it looks good, but isn't quite perfect, the texture is different, not bad but not quite perfect.

Hmmm..... I'll have to find a good photo as I haven't seen a seat with the correct material for years.

Neville,

I heard a rumour years ago Andrew Cavelli (ie. QuickCo) bought the last roll of material from Scheel for the Australian RS seats, you may want to chat to him aswell as he may still have some.

Cheers

Justin

If there is some material close enough to Beta cloth and not at stupid $$$ I might be very interested in recovering my RS2 seats.
