I may send a saddle to pastorbobnlnh for a new cover. I’m not sure how many saddles pastor Bob has done but in a weird way I would actually prefer to try it for myself. My favorite saddle is almost all versions of the Selle Italia Turbomatic. I have acquired several Turbomatic “1” titanium rail saddles that have crash damage. I wonder if a heat gun would come in handy for un-gluing the damaged leather cover. I also wonder if anyone has good sources for leather samples that could be used for the recovering operation. Ideally I would like to use striated Genuine Buffalo hide but am curious about synthetic Lorica too since it is what is on my Turbomatic Team Carbon saddles I am using now and I looked the Lorica material as well.

Thnaks in advance for any links to tutorial videos, saddle refurbishing resources, etc…
