Seats

[robcoles]

I'm looking for a pair of seats to replace the hard fibreglass seats I have in my buggy.
Any of you guys got a pair for sale or could you point me in the right direct

Rob, not sure if there is any info already on the forum but would be good to get a list going of all the seats that will fit in a freestyle. The seats I have are awesome but need to be shoe horned in and no room for a proper centre console.

I have seats from a Lotus Elise MK1 (I think) very good at holding you where you need to be.

If you can find a good pair of lotus elise seats at a good price you will be doing well

I just use foam and seat covers....

Alan, where did you get your elise seats from? I had a look on ebay and it looks like you need to take out a small bank loan to get a pair of those!

Do they fit well with room for a centre console that will hide the gear linkage?

I just kept an eye out on Fleecebay think I only paid £80 for them, they are not in the best condition but good enough for me.

Sounds like an absolute bargain!

I did have a quick look at completed listings to see what they were going for.

Were they a pain to fit?

No pretty straight forward, I used 2x 25x25 on top of each other hinged together so top one bolted to bottom of seat & other bolted to floor. Back mount was another 25x25 with 2 arms picking up side mounts. Can't show you any pictures as they are fitted but will try

This is how I mounted the Elise seats, I originally only lifted the front 50mm but the back was too upright so I went of another 25mm which is now good, they have hinges on the front so they can be tipped forward but I never do.

Strangely enough this line where the back cross member runs is exactly where the floor is pulling away from the chassis rail

Alan, what are all those holes in your floor? does your buggy have a mouse with really sharp teeth?

I think I'm on my 3rd set of seats ones for SVA next new set my arse was too big then the Elise ones
