Gemini - 8/4/14 at 09:21 AM

Hi

What are your opinions on the above seats.I see Midland Wheels have some at a reasonable price.
I am looking to change mine as steel loops in the sides,in the bucket type ones I have are uncomfortable and i dont think i will be able to modify them and still have them looking reasonable.

Thanks

Quite comfy seats, although not very 'bucket-like' at the base.

I had some but failed my IVA because of them so changed for GRP ones.

No experience, but if the publicity photos seem to show the vinyl looking unfitted and wrinkled, then I wouldn't expect too much from the production items!

However, never seen any in the flesh - just an observation!

I bought a pair of these seats a couple of weeks ago from Midland Wheels and I am very pleased with them. They do them with different coloured piping but at the minute they are selling them with white piping at a discounted price of £125 for the pair which I think is great value. Only the white piping is at this price to clear their stocks of them. I was able to collect mine whilst working nearby so also saved the £25 postage fees. I have fitted the seats in my Jago and they look great and feel comfortable. Be mindful though they do not recline, they are in a fixed position.
I also discovered that Midland Wheels supply these seats to `Robin Hood` but I suspect you may pay more for them there!

Basically, when the headrest was on it's first click' up i.e. not resting on the top of the seat itself the gap between the seat and the bottom of the headrest was deemed to be too small.

and, at the same point, the top of the headrest was lower than 700mm.

I have RX 1110 seats which are a similar style to Baby Cubs but reading that RS12 fail it would suggest the gap was too big not too small as it says "a gap of no more than 25mm" which would mean anything less is fine?

Ill check mine at home but I can file new resting notches into the posts if the gap is more than 25mm at its lowest point.

Cheers
