I've mounted the Ken Miles Comp Seat last weekend on my car.
This seat is awesome and it feels like "your ass is part of the car". Perfect!
I'll test the seat next weekend on an international Hill-climbing race in Austria. ( http://www.laendle-classic.at/index.php?season=3)
But as it is worth every cent, I'm sure it will be a great feeling to drive the car around the corners!
I'll post some pictures ASAP!
Regards from Switzerland |

test result for the Ken Miles Competition Seat!
And here the test result for the Ken Miles Competition Seat!
I've tested it on my car on the international hill-climbing race in Austria ( http://www.laendle-classic.at/index.php?season=3)
Where the seat was mounted directly on the floor of my car.
This seat is fulfilling all expectations and he's giving a perfect support during the various turns on a hill-climbing track! PERFECT!!
This seats should be mounted on each Race Cobra and Ken Miles would be proud to have given his name to something perfect!

Morris: make sure you have the slit sewn up and reinforced at the ends, else the slit will get way bigger over time.

got pics of the mounting frame?
Mine's in the mail, but haven't seen any pictures of the frame that is needed to mount it. Anyone got a photo handy so I can get a better idea of what I've got to build for mounting? 
Thanks!

No mounting bracket needed.
Set the seat where you want it and drill 4 holes down through the seat( with out the cover on), Raise the front of the seat with 1" square tube.
Install 5/16" carrage bolts with fender washers and nuts to the seat. Put cover on.
Install in car and bolt in.
If the rear of the seat is not stable to the floor pan you can attach a piece of 1/4"x 1 1/2" flat steel to the rear bolts and extended out from the underside of the seat a coulple of inches on each side ,but not wider the the total width of the seat, to make a flat service against the floor pan.
Make it all look nice
1 1/2 hours no welding
If you want to use your existing holes for the seat it will take a little longer.
no pics. Steve won't send me a seat. |

He will gladly if "Steve" gets paid.
You got other "Sponsors"?
What was you last years purse?
What % of "New Business" did your sponsors receive as a result of their sponsoring you and your car?
Have you approached Carroll Shelby to sponsor you? |

No sense of humor or you just don't think that I'm funny?
Watch what you say, you are only a half day drive from me. |

Morris,
Can you post some more pics of the "legs" it appears that you welded to the bottom of your seat? particularly want to see what you did in the back.
I have a MIG welder still in the box that I've been intending to learn how to use. The seat install is now the rationale for doing that. Any tips for a first timer welder and for welding aluminum?
Thanks!
Scott

I'll take some photo's and get back to you guy's.....
I'm surprised that Steve didn't offer to fix my seat cover......
To each his own........
We are also going to have to modify the seat...because it doesn't hold you in the seat on a Track......

Seat
Scott, That's a good starting point and the way you should proceed. The legs that Morris made are nice and I am sure he made sure they are safe but, we have never done one that way. We mount them in a similar way that NASCAR does in their Cup Cars.
Morris,
The Original seats did not use the cutouts on the outboard side but slid the belts underneath the cover because they were going straight down to the mounting tabs anyway.
I willl gladly send you the money for the stitching. It would have cost me $20 after the fact. $10 per hole.
Give me your address again and I will send a check.
BTW On all new orders, holes will be cut in and out so, if you want as per original and no outboard holes, you will have to specify.

Actually, you need to make the back verticle tubes parallel with the seat and attach to the seat back to the bottom. At that point the tube can be heated and angeled towards the tabs where you would weld the feet to get to the tabs. I am going to e-mail Ron some photo's from a restoration on an original Comp Car using a NEW fiberglass shell for the comp seat and what it looked like. I will ask him to post on this thread. I am not good at the picture thingy.

Seat Tracks
You can use seat tracks but comp cars didn't use them for safety reasons.
The seat was mounted once for the driver and that was it.
