New Seats
I was considering having my existing seats recovered and modified to accommodate the Sub strap on my 5 point harnesses, but started thinking about how ill fitting they are width-wise.
Sprung for a set of Ultra-Shield Cobra Buckets in Black. They have the Sub slot provisions already. Should be 4.5" wider in the hip area than what I have and 2.0" narrower externally than the current seat. (Alum frame is thinner than the factory fiberglass bucket). Should be 3 weeks for arrival. Free shipping at least. https://www.ultrashieldrace.com/cata...-cobra-bucket/ New track adjuster coming from Finish Line. |
those are really nice
LOVE my Cobra Roadster SR's I don't sit in a tub of fiberglass any longer ! |
I have often thought about getting better seats, especially during/after a long time in my car. But I have not done so because it may be that attaching new seats may be more painful than what I experience with the original seats. Actually, I did insert more cushion material to the seat and lumbar areas and achieved some improvement.

I ordered a couple sections of Confor medium foam for the seating area.

They look great! Please let us know how they feel after a long drive. Also, how tall are you?

I added a 3/4" lift to the front when I installed them. I think I'll increase that another 3/4". The back feels a bit vertical still. |
Looks like I better start budgeting for yet another future upgrade (sigh)....

I should add the the sides of the standard seats I ordered are pretty close to the seat belt floor eye bolt rings .50-.75" clearance.
Like this https://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/wesc...seat-belts.jpg I'll probably be switching to straight floor mounting bolts and Drilled belt ends VS the Quick-release ends at some point though. https://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/wesc...tall-3-box.gif Another option is you may order the 16" wide seats vs the standard 17". |
how do you like this seats after a year of driving ? i have a backdraft and i just order a pair

They’re great. No issues with the seats. I still haven’t changed the belt mounts to the floors though. The seat sliders I used are not the greatest and require exiting the car to reach the levers. Once I change the floor belt mounting to bolts vs the current eye bolts I want to tweak the seat orientation to a less angled position. Both are twisted pointing out in the front a tad.

Thanks for the reply, looks like end of December or first of January can't wait tell the come in. these should set me lower in car than the cheap factory 5 seats which i put in my backdraft cause of the price, now i know why.
