Hi this is my first post
I'm building a mid bike engine fiat 500 speedster
I have just sold my R1 z cars mini
I'm looking for a good prices for fibreglass seats and does anyone have a good supplier of escort pedal boxes
thanks Lee
i like your car - well smart. Looks like a lot of fun. Bike engine!!!!!!! Which one -Busa??
Do you want a certain type of grp seat or just a simpl;e race inspired one?? Try Mac#1, MNR and Mk. They all do them, probably a few others as well.
Id recommend going to a show and trying some. Im a touch challenged in the gut and shoulder area and found some a bit restrictive. Mac#1 seats were
fine and came with some inserts that i can trim for longer journeys / SWMBO.
Its woth enquiring about different colours and carbon fibre inserts, some of them look very smart.
Have you tried doing a search? There was a thread about some that will look well in you car about 2 weeks ago (interiors section).
HTH,
Darren.
Lovely car, maybe you could try resizing your avatar (upto 150 pixels wide is the norm)
Is this the type that was at Stoneleigh?
I bought my seat from Stuart Taylor, but all the main manufacturers have them.

Hi I don't know how to load a smaller image so i've taken it off
This picture is of a finished car I'm not at that stage yet
The engine is going to be a triumph triple
I have a 52 plate bike in the garage
There is another person doing this with a R1 I believe. I haven't been to a show this year
This is going to be a one off unless the interest is good as I have a supplier of the body shells

I saw the bike engined Barchetta beast and thought it was well cool idea.....
Cheers

I sold an R1 engine to a fella from birmingham doing just that... same fella maybe?
How about these? They cost 139 euro's, so that's about 90 pounds? They look really well made (front and rear is smooth), and come with pads.
If I had know earlier, I would have bought these.
They look a lot like the carbon fibre Reverie seats, which cost 799 pounds....
Oh, you can buy them here: http://www.auto-cross.net/de/p_2022.html
Thanks for this
they look great exactly what I'm looking for.
I've emailed to see how much these would cost delivered to the UK
As I don't speak German!
Has anyone got any ideas on pedals as they can't be floor mounted due to space
I like the burton escort ones with balance bar but not to thrilled about the £200 + price tag
Can anyone help
I would say that's a cock up on the price there....as double skinned seats command good beer tokens....unless they are moulded plastic.
The price works out at current exchange rate
£205 per pair Delivered
I'm ordering a set if anybody wants to maybe we can haggle a bit if we order a few pairs
as it seems those seats are 46 cm wide at the bottom. I do like them but the seats seem to wide for my frame, wich is a gts locost frame. where the space is only 43 cm wide
Nope, they are only 40 cm wide. I followed a discussion on a german Seven-forum about those seats, and one of the german guys bought a set and
measured them. They're smaller than advertised. The guy also send me a mail with pictures of the seats in his Seven, so if you're interested
in these pics, send me your e-mail address, and I'll forward it.
By the way, as they look VERY much like the Reverie C seats, I looked the dimensions of those up in the DemonThieves catalog. It says they're 405
mm wide.
I considered these - found a supplier on Ebay (Raceland Deutscland I think) who mysteriouslly ran out of stock when I ordered a pair. In the end I
went for a pair of s/h Lotus Elise seats. They are about the same dimensions but come in leather with a pump-up lumbar support for my bad back
