GRP Seats
welshy - 23/9/09 at 12:04 PM

I am after a pair of GRP seats for my slender 16stone frame. I am preferably after a pair of JK Composite N4246 which appear on here occasionally because they are too large for std locosts.

Cheers
Ben (Leeds)

Hi I have a pair of JK composite seats for sale
they are the ones for the striker, dimensions on their website
Cheers

I'd hazard a guess that these aren't the one's he's after as Strikers are one of the smaller cars on the inside? Similar to a narrow bodied westy etc?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

any pics and prices marmot? I've spotted the seats on the site, theyre the narrowest ones. U2U me

welshy - 24/9/09 at 11:13 AM

Well i missed out on those although they seemed a little narrow. That will teach me to subscribe to a post i have posted.

I am still after a pair of seats... any one else got any?

Cheers
Ben

Craig,

Thanks for the reply. Where did you get the info from as i have been on their website and it doesn't mention anything about it?
The website is quite basic. Do you know which style of seat they were offering the GT or the Seven Style?
In the mean time i think i need to measure the width of my a$$.
Cheers
Ben

welshy - 24/9/09 at 12:05 PM

i did actually send them a message about these seats through ebay last night and have yet to have a reply.
I have just tried to measure my hip width and it is about 38cm where as the one on offer is 39cm... might be a little snug. I am 6ft 3 so really i need a higher back. Thanks for the info though and if you come across any more then please let me know.

Cheers
Ben

jdominicd - 27/9/09 at 06:30 PM

HI Welshy I am a tiger owner and have managed to get a 10% discount on the seats offered by JK, originally posted on the tiger forum. I have 4 people interesed and will be ordering soon. If there are more of us might be able to get a further discount, as far as I know will be on any seats, if your interested can you send me an e-mail on jdominicd@hotmail.com.
cheers
john


jdominicd - 28/9/09 at 07:40 PM

Welshy
Following on from my previous thread, Mark is going over to JK next week to pick up 1 striker seat and one slightly larger seat to see if they will fit in our cars. The 10% discountis on any seat and padding! To get the discount you need to give me your name and address and then I will forward this on to Keith at JK then when your ready ring him give him your name and that you are part of the bulk buy and get your 10% off.
I am ordering mine in the next few weeks.
Keith has also said if we have one delivery address for all the seats he will charge £8 per set.
Got to be worth it let me know by e-mail
Cheers
John


franky - 28/9/09 at 07:48 PM

how many orders to get a further discount?


jdominicd - 29/9/09 at 07:19 AM

Dont know have 6 people who are interested at the moment, I can ask Keith at JK. Why are you interested?
John


welshy - 29/9/09 at 12:10 PM

Sorry for the late reply.

The size of the seat is not an issue for me as i am not actually building a locost. I sold my Locost project to fund the one below.

!LINK!

The offer is very tempting, actually extremely tempting, but i will struggle to get enough money together at short notice as i have just spent a small fortune on GRP Flip front, doors, arches for my project above.
HOWEVER....Keep me informed and if i can prise the visa card from my wife's Kung fu like grip whilst drunk in front of the computer then i may become number 7.

Being like a Dragon, if it was a 20% discount i would definately be in. 15% (i.e. vat free) i would be on the fence... swaying.

Cheers
Ben

jdominicd - 29/9/09 at 12:55 PM

Start swaying the prices ARE VAT free and if we can get 10 people then he WILL give us 15% off. Who wears the trousers in your house I know in mine it is my girlfriend. Played a blinder though ,she has agreed to sprint next year so now it is OUR hobby. Got to be cleverer than them!!!
Need firm orders e.g send me your name and address to the e-mail address above. I have got 3 definates and waiting for you plus 3 more as I have 7 people interested. Am advertising the deal elsewhere as well as we need the magic 10.
Let me know


welshy - 29/9/09 at 01:06 PM

the prices aren't vat free it is just included in the price. I was trying to say if he removes the vat i.e 15% then i'd be swaying. He has, so count me in as one of the 10. I will adverise it on a couple of mini sites. How many for 20%, its worth asking?


jdominicd - 29/9/09 at 07:18 PM

Ben
Are you saying that your not in at 10% discount!
I asked Keith this morning how many we needed for a further discount and he said 10 for the 15%.
I have 4 definates with 3 others including youself interested.
I have also posted elsewhere.
The problem is where do you stop, The 4 of us want to order soon, the problem is getting people to commit, Keith needs the names and addresses.
As you can imagine anyone could ring him and tell him he has 10 mates wanting to buy them which never materialise.
I am happy to stop at 10 for 15% discount.
I think it will be difficult and too long to get any more than that. If you know different then I am more than happy to re-negotiate but having 7 people with only 4 people actually wanting to buy 100% and have given me their names and addresses.
Its difficult getting people to commit I understand where you are coming from as i always like a deal the cheaper the better. If you can get a firm answer from your mini forum and people are willing to give you there names and addresses let me know.
One of the blokes who wants some is going across to JK next week and bringing 2 different sized seats back for us to trial fit. We will then order some at the end of next week.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers
John


franky - 29/9/09 at 07:21 PM

I'd be in at a higher discount. In lincoln so can collect to help save postage.


jdominicd - 29/9/09 at 07:26 PM

e-mail me your number so we can have a chat its jdominicd@hotmail.com
John


welshy - 29/9/09 at 10:35 PM

U2 sent


jdominicd - 30/9/09 at 07:00 AM

U2 reply


jdominicd - 2/10/09 at 07:38 PM

OK had a spare 2 hours so have rung around. I have 9 people confirming they are buying the seats with 1 other buying in the next few months and 1 person yet to get hold of.
Have e-mailed Keith with the names and am waiting for a reply which I presume I will get on Mon.
Once I get the reply will ring around again with the definitive answer. It will probably be a case of ringing Keith with your order. Once you have given your name he will cross you off the list and you will get the discount deducted from your bill. As to postage I think there could be 4 of us getting seats delivered to the same address. Have asked the question about delivery to Northern Ireland and SWEDEN!!! As for the rest I will let you arrange either delivery or collection
Hope all goes well, will post the reply from JK next week
Cheers
John


jdominicd - 7/10/09 at 02:28 PM

Just waiting for conformation of the 15% discount then for all those people who gave me their names you will be free to order your seats at the discounted price
Cheers
John


jdominicd - 8/10/09 at 01:46 PM

OK the deal is done for all those people who gave me their names Keith has confirmed that we will get 15% discount on our orders. He would prefer cheque, delivery is still £25 unless you can get a few people together. I will leave that up to yourselves.
Looking forward to fitting my seats I will be ordering on Mon the 12th. photo's to follow once I have fitted them.
Keiths no is 01704 569730
Their web site is http://www.jkcomposites.com
Ben can I ask you to post this on the mini web sites you put it on or pm Caveman
Thanks
John


jdominicd - 13/10/09 at 01:37 PM
