ADR 3/03 seats

[Aussie Mike]

I just got a pair of these from the US.





The plan is to weld a bracket to the back of them for a removable head rest.

They are surprisingly comfortable.

Hi Mike.

Would you kindly advise the cobra community where you sourced these good looking seats by providing their web site address?

Is the shell made in aluminium?

Price and avaliabilty would be appreciated.

When I built my Locost 7 I was going to instal alumunium seats and there is a manufacturer located in Campbellfied who will specifically custom make seats to suit narrow bodied cars like the Cobra,Locost and Super modified Sprint Cars.

The gentleman's name is Bob Pascoe but his son does all the welding etc as Bob has sustained some head injury in racing car accident several years back.

Rx Stanley Kilmore Victoria 3764.

I got them through VPW in Epping. They are the local Kirkey dealer. They are available in various widths to suit your car (Or your behind).

The price from VPW was pretty good but I had to wait 6 months for them to arrive. Lots of delays for them getting them since they are made in Canada and then shipped to LA before going on a ship to Melbourne.

Check out the Kirkey web page for dimensions on them.

All that being said... I don't know if they will be ADR Legal once the new head rest is in place. But at least being aluminium there are some easy options to reinforce them or modify them.

Looks like a Kirkey to me...

I have one of their "Road/Race" versions in my car. You can get a variety of widths and angles and configurations.....I love mine and they really HOLD you in tight!

I doubt they would be ADR though for road driven applications...

I was suprised how comfortable it is despite being made from aluminum and only having a basic vinyl cover. I think they've got the shape pretty spot on. I reckon it should keep me glued in place OK for track days.

It's definitely not ADR legal without some mods but my point was that being aluminium it's easy enough to weld headrest mounts or whatever to it to make it the right height etc. It would probably still need to be tested after the fact.
