Seats

Post by Sweeney »

I need to get new pair of seat (as the rails are buggered and the seat are tired).
Anything from other makes and models that fit without to much modification?
Nothing to costly as the gearbox going to get rebuilt.

Cheers

DEpends how good you are with a welder, drill, etc - actually, mainlyt drill, hammer, wrench.....

I just got some 'racing' seats off ebay, $300 for the two, brand new.

Now before you all have a chop at me for being a boy racer, think about it - you are sitting on a 35 degree downhill going up and down bumps and side to side - what better than a seat with huge bolsters on each side to hold you neat in place so no stress on the body!

And yes, the bling is cool, but that is not what it is about - it is the comfort man!

DEpends on your perspective I suppose! I like them - but if you want softies, measure the max width you can fit and go to the wreckers... You could probably get leather seats from a midsize if you work it right.,....

What kind of seats are they in particular and how good are they - comfortable? I LOVE my feroza elIII seats (velour + nice shape for my body) I guess im a bit smaller then the average australian but a bit bigger then the average japanese?

I'm thinking about getting some new seats for my rally car, its a 1977 model and the current seats are STUFFED.

I was thinking along the lines of simple but comfortable (racing seats might look out of place in My Scat ;) ).
I might have a look at Mitsub Lancer seats (92-94) see if they fit. I'll see what I can find in Derby.
