May the dry be with you. 

Fuel valve limiter arrived. I fitted it the wrong way around, and it leaked badly.

Now fitted the correct way, and after an initial problem, I turned the pressure down to 2.5psi, and it seems to have stopped all the flooding.

I will check regularly to make sure it is not dripping. I think carrying a fire extinguisher which is easily accessed is a must on old cars, where just a small leak could be terminal.

You could send a photo to them to be specific about what you want.

I'm afraid I was *that* person - sent them a picture of my seats and asked if theirs were the same! In my mind I was being helpful.
I'll see how helpful they found it when I get a response.

Just for your reference, here are some photos of the seat-back and bottom upholstery pieces I got from Europa Supplies (ex- Banks).

Regarding the company, I have bought from both them and SJSportscars.  Both can be responsive when you're looking to order; not so much once you've placed your order.  Not very impressive, but ultimately I got my stuff from both of them.

Notice that I say "can be...".  Not sure that they always are responsive when ordering.

Thank you for posting those pics - super helpful. Confirms that the vinyl matches the seats that are in, and has the same backing. I'll follow up with Banks. I don't mind waiting a bit, as I've got plenty of other bits to be working on! But would be good to get orders in now so it doesn't hold it back later.

New billet MC's that fit!
No, I suppose not, in todays litigious world. (Dammit!)
