Default Harrison Seats and Door Trims

Picked up my seats from the motor trimmer today. I am extremely happy with the finish, look and quality of the leather.









regards

Mick

Bluddy nice Mick. Certainly like the alternate color pleats.

Thanks Les.
They are actually more grey in the flesh, they look a little lighter in the photos

Very nice Mick! They look great in the two tone colours. I have been very happy with mine so far. Comfortable and ... well they look the part. When is it all on the road?

Default Won't be long now Schipps.

A classy job Schipps. Nice narrow profile on the seats. What are the frames from?

Here in the south, our seat backrests have to be a minimum of 845mm from the seat cushion. That includes the headrest, but to comply with the height restriction, the maximum gap on the extended headrests can't exceed 50 mm Do you have that Reg., in Qld also?

From what I can see with the pics, your seats would easily comply in NSW. Do your headrests extend or are they fixed?

Congratulations

Baz.

Baz, the frames are made new by Warwick for the Cobra to meet ADRs and states' requirements. My engineers had all the paperwork re approvals. The head restraints (from a Toyota) can be removed in a second, for example to fit a tonneau without having to have 'pockets' for them. They can be adjusted to any height. I had my seats trimmed at very reasonable cost. I liked them because of the lack of a high fixed back and also because you can sit low in them.

Thanks Merv,

Do you have the same seat height requirements in Qld as we do?

I am not sure Baz but I believe that these aspects are the same. Other may comment. These seats have no runner either (one could be fitted, however). They bolt straight on to the chassis rails. I wanted my eyeline to be well below the top of the 'screen!

My bolster on mine is 825 (or thereabouts) above the floor level.

In NSW the drivers seat has to be adjustable (have a runner) for rego at least. Seats look good Mick - Are they assymetrical for better fit?

Interesting! Would be easy to fit but raise the seat height. They are made for RHS and LHS separately.
