No I haven't, Luke; I'll be sure to check them out as well. Thanks! Jeff

Thanks, Ken; I will check Springfield Leather out. Jeff

I realize that this is a shot in the dark, but I need to find a local leather supplier in or near Marion or Morganton, NC. I know of Jackson's in Asheville (about 50 miles) and that there are a few places in Hickory, but I would like to find one more local. Forgive me if I don't know all of the trade terms and subtleties which accompany leatherwork. I am a leatherworker only by default because some of the antique carburetors which I restore in the course of my work require small leather components such as seals, air valve stoppers and accelerator pump cups. I buy relatively small pieces of leather, usually no more than 325 sq. in.; such a quantity often lasts me for years. At the moment, I specifically need black leather of fairly smooth grain on one side and close to the .162" thickness I have been using; perhaps that is a nominal 3/16" size in the leather community. Can anyone provide a local lead? Failing that, does anyone have any smallish scraps of such a description which they wish to sell? Jeff Dreibus The Old Carb Doctor
