Bucket seats

Post by minima »

Once again I seek to draw from your wisdom and knowledge oh Oracles of the Mini brethern and sisterhood!!!!!!! have just put a rollcage with doorbars into Homer and the seats are a little bit squished (last owner of the car was 17 stone and 6 3).
I am looking to replace them with bucket seats and want to know if anyone has found the perfect fitting seat? If so where did ya get them?

many thanks,

Eric

Thanks Gareth, was really thinking of a fixed back seat, something like Cobra or Corbeau ?

Jocelyn has a set of black bucket seats for sale at the Autojumble. I sat i them , but found them a little narrow and low backed for me.

I know one of the lads that I got to know through the IMOC bebo site has a full set of Cobra cream leather interior. It has the door cards to and it looked sweet. Not sure how much or were he got them as he never got back to me when I asked him. I would load a picture but I'm on the Playstation as my computer is scruwed so I can't. I will as soon as it's fixed though.
