Where's the cheapest place to buy these new here in Oz, someone must be cheaper than RevoRacegear.. :lol:
They are cheaper in UK but freight would be a bastard. Or they'd get nicked on the way.... :cry:

There were a pair of lowbacks on eBay starting at $680 (eg $340) - seat frames extra. Similar to Revo's prices.

Those with headrest shoot up to $550 - but I am told that these are totally re-engineered for the head rest - hence the price hike (yet prices in UK don't seem to be that drastic a difference !)

I am waiting on a price on the new model Classic CS http://www.cobraseats.com/classic_cs.htm - but Revo haven't come back with a price yet...

.. so I'd be interested in any better deals about :wink:

ken.

Brad I've already got 1 Monaco (aka Cobra Trophy) in black, it'll be for sale when I get some Classics.
I don't want highbacks anymore in a daily driver Mini. Can't reach the rear side window to open it... :evil:

13 sec, there black and in perfect cond, better support and better for holding you in place, I had these in a road car for a while and were great for the race look haha, but classics are a more retro look

I would like to see $600 a pair perhaps, fair price with the seat base ready to bolt into minis

Let me know what you think
Thanks
Monte

Doc i was looking for these seats at on stage and some how came across the details of who is the distributor in OZ or NSW and it came up as Revo racegear don't quote me on this, hence the reason why i mentioned on the other thread by ANDBAT about bring some in from the UK.

Keep an eye out for Revolutions sales, and i think they have a few a year.

Sorry not much help but i too would like to buy a pair.

Yeah, but they have already just paid freight from UK. Then markup. And then not cheap to ship here. :cry:

Time to ask Mr Karcraft. :wink:

wat dimensions are need to fit these after market seats? all i know is that there is a beam that runs across the floor which the original seats bolted onto and pivetted. doesnt that mean u have to weld the new rails to the floor or would you make up another cross beam for an even placement for the rails?

this is only because im interested in the BRIDE seats cos they look cool and comfy 8)

Cobra seats and many others will bolt to the Cobra rails (sold extra). These bolt into original Mini seat mounts and have 2 holes thru the floor at back.
