That was the proto-type.
They are actually a lot better now in both the detail and the built strength.
They weigh about 18 lbs are super strong.

Mounting
Tools required
1 inch steel square tube stock
3/4 inch steel round tube stock
5/8 inch grade 8 bolts/nuts
1/4 inch steel slat stockFender washers
Welding ability
3 hrs
You first mock up the seat into position with 2x4 wood blocks then determine either floor mount or seat track mount.
The rest will be detailed in diagrams and pictures but, experience in welding is a must.
It sounds harder than it is but it is the only way to get the seat at an optimum position.
There is no generic mounting. The seat is supposed to fit both you and the car like a custom tailored suit.

With the work needed to build ,I guess the mounting frame, or whatever, is your seat considered a "kit" seat, and not a "real" seat ?

Seat
Just like the originals
Same need to be handy in creating a mount for them.
At least they went in 1 brand of car, Shelby where the mounting position holes were in the same spot all the time.
With all the kit cars out there, it's easier to get a "hole in one" on a par 5 than it would be to make a mount to work in a car long distance.
And.., these were comp seats used in comp cars installed at Shelby American in their cars. Not for the average street driver or trailer queen guy. Comp cars were owned by guys who worked on their cars.
This was a no brainer to install then and the same goes for now.
Bring me the car and I will mount it in any kit car you want, Sonny boy.
The guys like Cobra Restorers that sell the exact copy of the original Shell in fiberglass like the original don't sell a mount for it either.
Why?

I am guessing you get get one for both sides? I am all about symmetry  .....Also, just wondering the differences in this one vs. the one I have seen from Cobra Restorers?
The seat looks great though!! |

Seat
This seat is hand made to your own measurements out of aluminum. It is far safer than the fiberglass reproduction. We also use dense padding on the shell and foam backed padding to make it really comfortable.
The repro seat only comes in 2 sizes. Big and bigger.
If you search CC or Ron finds a link to the previous thread from last year that shows all the detail pics.

As for the symetry....
I understand but, the original comp cars used one comp seat and a standard passenger seat.
I do and have sold 2's to guys that wanted the symetry

If you really want the seat to be comfortable..... get some cushions from Air Craft Spruce ....the ones that pilot's use for long flights.....
And install it in the seat....

This was the only issue we had with the seat.....
No hole was cut into the cover of the seat for the seat belts.... so we just cut one for now...
