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. ;D
I'll see how helpful they found it when I get a response.

They offer different styles, including that made with non-perforated vinyl, like my originals.  You could send a photo to them to be specific about what you want.

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.

Yeah, I think it would be safer to make alternator drive pulleys!

Yes, but now for the next adventure.
The "Bundy pipes" were not very good and appear to have had at least one end remade, poorly.
OK, I have the tools to make new ones.
Cut the old lines to salvage the threaded ends, found that the ends going into the wheel cylinders do not match.  :o
This car had been leaking at the wheel cylinders, the cylinders or the flares is uncertain. 
REALLY hoping the MC is good as it seems they are no longer available and conversions are inconvenient to difficult.

We have rear brakes!
Well, almost.
Still have to install the Bundy pipe and a couple of clevis pins.

Good luck, Richard!

The only thing that comes to mind for a product is aluminum alternator drive pulleys for TCs. A guy used to make nice ones but he’s not making them anymore. Of course, you want to make those on a lathe rather than a mill…

Hmm, I do have a 13" lathe, just not CNC.
