Hey Lew one of the big guys on here (MDMAN352) came up with a clever solution. I did some tunnel, footbox and exhaust mods and he had his upholsterer make up a cushion for the bottom and back. It looks like a Cobra seat but gets him low and back and is comfortable. I'll find a picture of it.

I love my racing seat. I'm not sure of the make, but it fits very snug.

It also prevents anyone with anything close to thick hips from asking to drive the car.

Here's a shot.

I had Steve make me one of these seats and really like it. The quality is very nice and I love the way I feel driving the car. If you guys are interested you should call Steve and ask about them...If my old contact information is correct his number is 201-213-2681. Let me know if you have any other questions.

PS...regarding the earlier comment on Kirkey seat....I think that is a good seat as well but I would hold the one I have up to it any day....MORE importantly it looks "right" in the car.

I have one of these seats for my Carbon Cobra. I too added the Aircraft Spruce material under the seat cover (Apollo tech vrs Space shuttle tech) BTW the seat cover that came with the Miles seat is very nice and goes well with the Shelby seat on the passenger side. And I have to argree the look is better than the Kirkey with the Workmanship on another level. Just too bad the nice plaque is in an area nobody will ever see.

Are these seats still available? I sent Steve a PM, but haven't heard back. I am not sure if he still checks CC. I have one, but it was the biggest size that Steve made at the time. i ended up using a Kirkey instead. Since I don't track the car, I don't need all of the lateral support that the Kirkey offers. My main objective is to sit as low and as far back as possible, so that is why I am not using the stock seat. Since I ordered my Ken Miles seat, I've lost a bunch of weight, so if I could use a smaller version of the Ken Miles seat, I would buy one.

If anyone knows how they size these seats, I measured 18" at both the hip measurement and the back measurement as per teh Ken Miles seat measuring instructions. Does anyone know if this still equates to the biggest seat, or could I bump down a size?

Thanks,

Lew

I have one that Steve made for me that I don't use if interested. I don't know what size it is but I can tell you that I am a 34 waist and it fits me just fine. After having it in the car for the past two years, I find myself using the stock seat more often. If you want mine, I will consider selling it to you.

PM if interesting and I can get you some pics, details, etc.

Steve sunshine made these seats. I have one. They are top notch and very period correct. I have not heard from Steve in about 8 years now. I doubt they are still being made. His contact info is here in his page.
