My B.S meter is going off the scale on this one. If it's a million dollars for set up cost to have someone make repro grille cloth now how could Antique Radio Grille cloth dot com afford to have it made up before? How come Ken Richmond is having brand Z cloth made right now? I think someone just doesn't know the answer and is making it up, or just wasn't trying to hard and got the "go away and don't bother us" quote from a manufacturer who wasn't really interested.
On this subject i suggested the SMS company in Oregon who supplies reproduction fabric for antique and collector cars, Original Automotive Interiors was another. Someone contacted SMS about this and they sounded interested, then that someone passed it onto Radio Daze whom it sounds like they round filed that information. Believe me if SMS had to pay $1 million to set up to have one pattern of auto fabric made they wouldn't be in business.
Regards
Arran
