I am thinking of getting some cobra seats to replace original 850 low backs that have some rips. Has anyone out there used cut down seat frames so that I can retain the tilting seat for some rear access? Or does anyone have other ideas I have not thought of. Thanks

Cobra have seat sub-frames to suit the standard mini seat mounts

I have Cobra Classics on Cobra frames, yes they tilt and allow rear access.

How well do the seatbelts retain you? I know that Cobra can put harness and seatbelt ports in these seats too and thought that might be a good idea?

Just curious.
I can't make up my mind at the moment whether to run Jellybeans, 12's or 13's. I particularly like the look & proportion of your set-up, hence the Q re wheels & flares..

When you say Minilites, do you mean genuine Minilites or a knock-off?
If the latter, what brand?
Oh, & thanks!

they are actually uk superlites
