Headliner Fabric from Veteranco

[Sornob]

BM134 is on back order again, Veteranco reluctantly said maybe April. I am also looking for a suitable option in case it doesn't come back in stock.

I got the same response for BM134. It was originally February, but it got delayed till April. Unfortunately both POR911 and BM3109 seem to be discontinued though!

The question I have is, what is this source they(veteranco) are ordering BM134 from. Hard to believe they're the only place on the planet that seems to surface this stuff for consumers.

Edit: conversing with Grok:

I agree 100%. One would think other wholesalers would have access to the materials.
BTW, nice job finding Elsen-Hemer. They do list those materials amongst an insane amount of other hard to find goodies in their catalogue.
It does not mean they stock or still produce them though.
Now the handful of us need to convince them to sell to individuals. Anyone speak German? 😂

Honestly you could just email them and ask. There's a chance they would sell you a big ass roll in bulk wholesale size. The shipping is going to be intense though.

They also might be able to refer you to any retailers.

Buying a roll might be a tall order, but you have a very good point about retailer referral. I will contact them and report back when I get an answer.
In the mean-time, does anyone have any left over BM3109 or POR911 for sale?

No, unfortunately I did not hear back despite 2 followup emails. No receipt acknowledgement or any kind of response. Worth a try I guess!

Thanks for the efforts. Nate047 do you speak German yet? =)

Not well lol. It doesn’t entirely surprise me that they didn’t reply. Things sometimes move really slow here and with a certain not giving a fuck attitude. Which person did you guys email? You could also just literally call them in English. It’s highly likely some of or all of the sales team will speak English.

Tbh before you really dig in and make this your personal quest to find headliner fabric, I would call Veteran Co and ask them again for an ETA. And ask if they can order an extra roll.

At the end of the day, maybe alcantara isn’t so bad.

I emailed EH months back as well, no reply.

VeteranCo still says it should be back in stock soon. I have a standing order right now.

[bavarian3]

Yep I called them last week. April ETA is now "try back in a few weeks". I'll try them in May.

Spoke to them earlier this week. Confirmed shipment first week of June.

Thanks Arlen4369 !

Shipment or in stock 1st week of June? As I understand, the rolls come from Europe. That could make be a difference of a few weeks on its own.
