MK Seat pics?
the_fbi - 31/8/06 at 06:39 PM

Anybody got any photo's of MK's seats, unfitted?

I was going to buy some Triton seats but he's not responded to my u2u's, so I'm hoping MK's are the next best thing.

I'd just like some pics showing their base, back/base and the runners/mounts they come with.

MK Seats and runners. I'm probably going to use some rubber bushes or something rather than the runners because my wife and I have the same driving position, so no need for adjustment: Rescued attachment Seats.jpg

Ray: Hm... identical to the MK ones, unless what I thought were MK ones are GTS ones, but I presume all GTS ones have GTS on them?

I liked the idea that the Triton ones were double skinned on the bottom/back-bottom.

Edit:
Steve, thanks thats exactly what I needed to see
Looks like I'll get a set of them

Thanks guys.
Chris

And yes - I was caught in the garage one sunday afternoon, sat in the drivers seat (unfixed) with the steering wheel in my hand. In my defence, though, I was testing the driving position and not making racing car noises (the radio should have drowned that out hopefully!)

I sat on the floor of mine for the first time on Tuesday night, after completing the dashboard. Blinking uncomfy hence the idea to get seats

Steve: I did post in the middle of your pics, but in case you missed it, thanks again.

No problem - I'll stick them in my photo archive for future reference.

Plastic bag and expanding foam for me


StevieB - 31/8/06 at 07:36 PM

I also find the seats are especially good for sitting while playing Gran Turismo on the playstation as a stop gap until they're needed for the car!

I was thinking about the expanding foam thing, but my wife will want to drive as well (until she realises how fast it'll be!).

How much are they from MK?


StevieB - 1/9/06 at 07:43 AM

I think they were about £130 each.


iank - 1/9/06 at 08:34 AM

http://www.mksportscars.co.uk/prices.htm

Fibreglass high back seat c/w harness holes & runner fixings Ea £123.00
Seat Runner adjustable Pair £63.00

inc VAT I believe


StevieB - 1/9/06 at 08:53 AM

Is that the new or old price? I used the online price list to make my shopping list, but they'd put the prices up a little (not by a massive amount though - 3-5%ish max)


iank - 1/9/06 at 09:31 AM

It's the currently list on their website dated 'from 1st March 06.'

Bit naughty if they've put up prices without updating the website.


StevieB - 1/9/06 at 09:34 AM

They probably have changed the prices then - I used the list that was attached to the old site.

But like I said, the prices have only changed in line with inflation (roughly), and by the time I'd put a list of just about everything I need from them for my build, we came a nice round figure anyway!
