Yes you can use the same TYPE of upholstery material in a Coupe.
And there is no TSO for that anyway. But it is wise to choose flame resistant stuff over any other, since you have the option. If it would per our folks that only allow "approved" materials, you would have to use Exactly the same material as had been used 60 years ago. You can see that the logic does not catch.

Sometime it takes year of research to een locate the originak part. With no expense sparred, everything including fabrics of the period that were not fire retardant. The word for restoration means money. You know, like the Boeing that went into the drink. If you consider when the coupe was built with auto parts and fabrics that were used in autos. Now just think about it please??? Can you legally reupholster you coupe in the same TYPE fabric just because it was done then? Hey let's be practical, We are not talking about a true restoration here where this is permitted as museum restoration. What we're really talking about is being safe and legal. So let's cut to the chase. We can't keep saying "That's how it was then with no TSO's or 337's or regs on it then, so now we can do this-that or whatever." You're looking for trouble because, and you would have to agree that there are those that will step too far over the line. All I can say is.
