Car seats - where from?
Hi everyone,
just wondering if anyone has any idea where to get classic looking bucket seats from - I was going to use my old spitfire seats but they are much too wide at the back - I've found some ones I like from Holdens - see link - http://www.holden.co.uk/displayprodu...thash.v8o5ZzR7 but they seem very expensive - does anyone know where I can get similar seats but cheaper? thanks |
|
Yeah, the cobra ones look good but they are a bit too wide at the back - that's why the holden ones were better because they have a narrower back. (just way too expensive) :(
|
I used a pair of these and had them professionally trimmed in black leather -
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dax-AC-Cob...item1e9a638624 I just gave the trimmer a picture of some old Porsche 356 coupe seats that I liked and they made the covers to match them - http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...psf719136b.jpg They're very comfortable, give a laid back driving position and worked out a damned sight cheaper than those from Holden (which also look a bit too upright and thick in the squab to work in a Sammio imho). |

Thanks guys, but having bought a set today and putting them in place it looks like I'll have to make a back panel and two separate bottom sections for it to work with my cockpit as I don't think any seats are going to work well without modification :(
Thanks anyway |
how did you get them to fit my bench seat is as for back as it will go and the leg room is just right. is my car different!

As you have a "one off" Spyder body shell modified to fit a GT6/Spritfire chassis. There is more room in the traditional Spyder cockpit when it sits on a Herald chassis. The Cordite kit was designed to fit the Spitfire chassis right from the start. ( :tape: ) However, even the Cordite cockpit is tight and if I was 6' then I would need a bench seat like yours too. Thankfully, I am only 5' 7" and a bit, so I can use "normal" seats, but they are still pushed back as far as they can go. Hope that helps, Paul. :) |
Mr Spamalot has been reported. :rolleyes:
