Seats for a Fury ideas or advice

Hi,

After some advice on which seats work well in a Fury. I've got some leather Cobra ones and they put my eyeline along the top of the windscreen frame. They're also a little too wide.

Any ideas which seat will go on some runners and keep me low?

Thanks
Jon

Inta Trim must do something to suit your needs unless you want Carbon Tillet type seats.

I have the Odyssey seats, they also put my eye line around the top of the windscreen, maybe maybe a little lower. I used them on runners so these had to go.

I had the "kit seats" in mine, a square low floor mounted base with comfy cushions

I took the drivers one out and replaced it with a grp high back seat with a view to fitting a 6 point harness.,

I have subsequently taken the passenger one out, and now they just get the cushions,.. although I don't get too many passengers,... perhaps this is why?

The other option is to replace the rigid seat stuff with a two part foam seat, they are very popular in the race series as they are a perfect fit to the driver derrier, light weight and don't turn into evil splinters on impact,..

I guess a lot depends how many people you expect in the drivers seat, if you really need runners, and what your views are on looks and style.

Thanks for the replies guys. I need the runners so the wife can drive it. Guess I'll have to get some wind deflectors for the top or come up with another idea!

In my MK Indy I used Intatrim Ranger seats. I fitted an aeroscreen so no issue with height/eyeline in my case, but I did make a mounting frame out of 20mm angle iron for the driver's seat. Comfy seats and a good fit size wise.

Hi, I fitted the JK Composite seats in my Fury.
I had the same problem with eye height.
Runners are not a problem. Just discuss with them what you need.
They recommend some runners to suit.
