High back seat for CR

[Scoob]

After spending time in what I think is the only two motorsport shops in Adelaide it didn't take long to work out one of them offers very poor service and it was suggested to me that I just spend my time looking at the seats on display and pick what I like. And if needed some measurements just use your tape measure to work out if any of the seats fit and I can order it in.

In the other shop I recieved a warm welcome and 100% attention and scrutiny of all seat in the shop time spent on the internet looking for and printing out dimensions of the seat which were possible contenders.

Wow I know where I would prfer to spend my money!

If you like the seats you like how can I make them work ?

Anyway I am loving the classic style seat made by "Cobra seats" and thinking that if I double the height of the head restraint of the seat It would offer me the height I am looking forIt would change the look a bit but I think it is still better than introducing a modern seat. This would then bring in the issue of trying to strengthen the two uprights so that the head support would not bend the uprights if pressure was placed on the head rest. So can I add support to the head rest by mounting the seat perminemtly in the position I need and adding a third leg for suppor from the head rest back onto the rear bulk head.This might be reasonable considering the seats will be retrimmed anyway and a frame could be made for the larger head restraint to suit. Or the two upright posts could be changed to a wide flat steal upright into the head rest which would offer greater strength compared to the standard pencil sized ones.

How does any of this sound ?

So Monday will involve a chat with my engineer again and one with the man doing the build for me and we will see where it leads me.
