I've have been using the back seat from a Ford Cougar with the sub frames removed and just wedging the foam seat base and back section in to the chassis, this has got me thinking about making some proper padded seats.
The old mans Locost has a pair of the Westfield type seats which are soft but being bigger I don't fit between the lumber pads, I don't sit in them rather on them. What I'm looking in to making is a light steel sub frame seat, padded with PU moulded foam pads (non water absorbing foam) covered with leatherette or vinyl, if I can make these for a reasonable price (no not cheap) would there be any interest? What are peoples thoughts on GRP seats verses the Westfield/Cobra 7 type seats, I've drawn up a rough list of arguments for both. GRP bucket seats Pros 100% Water proof durable light can be trimmed as in cut to fit can have pads added Cons fixed angle between base and back some times suffer from weak captive mounts very little shock absorbing properties shoulder harness holes fixed so non adjustable quality some times brought into question pads move about or detach tear from glue Cobra 7 or proper car seat Pros soft bolsters which adjust to different people shock absorbing light rain wipe dry if leather/vinyl comfortable on long journeys Cons often heavy too narrow across lumbar for bigger people foam soaks up water often expensive very little choice
