Hey i was just wanting to know about mounting a Cobra low back Seat.

Would i be better off gettin something like these:

http://www.revolutionracegear.com.au/index.php?PCID=10554&PSO=245&PSID=4680000001&PSV=Primary&CDO=

or something like this:

http://www.revolutionracegear.com.au/index.php?PCID=10554&PSO=245&PSID=4680000000&PSV=Primary&CDO=

Also with frames like these ones do you need any modifications to fit them?

How easy is it to fit a seat to an existing frame?

Sorry if these questions are stupid ones but im trying to figure out what road to go down.


Thanks Blake

You want neither of those for a road car, Cobra makes one that goes into the Mini mounts.
Here's a pic, Revo Racegear sells `em, so do Karcraft.

Kc has seat subframes for $86 ea and locking to floor ones for $143 ea.
Not sure which you need/want, I'd ring them. (02) 9737 9944

I used these ones, I reckon they are stronger.

By the way Wilo, I saw your car at woolies last night. You work there? It looks really good.

Mine all came from Brickworx, out of a Jap Mini.
Kc doesn't stock the seats usually but can bring them in to order.
Best to ring them for pricing, the catalog is a bit ambiguous.
