I've used Sally at Jessail to recover RIB seats - she's very good and reasonably prriced, but she does get very busy, so it can take a while to get the work completed.

Thanks again guys. I had a Vtronix RIB Raider on my last RIB and it did seem to have good coverage, in spite of the small length, so it's definitely worth considering.
