Hi!

I didn't find a better group for this question...

Are ordniary car seats too high for a Locost? It would be convenient to put a pair of good racing seats in it. What type of seats are you using?

Best regards,

Plan on using a pair of Cobra Roadster 7 seats. £120 each is the downside. Height isn't too much of an issue, more the width. I have a max of 17.5 inches per side.

BEDFORD RASCAL VAN seats(or SUZUKI)

Skin them and cover with vinyl,mine cost £20 UK money from a car breakers.
Just need the vinyl now.

Can you buy aftermarket seats that fit the standard build width? do the bedford van/suzuki seats fit? Or do I have to sit on skinny solid plastic?

Bedfird seats fit like a glove,just take the tilt mechanism off and bolt em in.

CHEAP AS CHIPS

They are high back as well

Cheers, not that I've even bought my mig yet, so it'll be a while before I get to the seat stage...

I did the same as btb mine cost £20,i've extended the seat bits bottoms to give a better knee support.
Vinyl cost me £20 , lush yellow piping was £10 and the missus skinned me for £5 for the thread, needles for the sewing machine etc, although she is providing the labour for free

All in cost for 2 decent seats at @ £55 for the pair

go on you know it makes sense

i thought you'd pinched the park bench off horny dave

whhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooo
