Been there, done that!

My old seats were out of a Bugeye Sprite. Can you say "torture". I tried seats in every Cobra in every show I visited. The best ones are in the Classic Cobras. They are layed-back fiberglass shells with lumbar support built-in and minimal padding. Look good, too. I contacted the Classic people about two years ago and they connected me with their seat manufacturer in So. Dakota, I believe. I got two leather-covered seats made for about $400. The one on the right side fits really tight but the door does close. I cut 8" round holes thorugh the fiberglass floor to sink them as low as possible and cut a 5" diameter "D" shaped hole in the curved bottom of the seats to fit over the rear frame member. I used duct tape (what else) to seal up the hole. With them bolted to the floor (no sliders, no carpet), I see through the top half of the windshield. I'm 6' 0". They've proved comfortable even on a 16-hour rally to Santa Cruz, last year. The back is a little tall and sticks up above the rear edge of the cockpit about an inch. They look a little square, too, but my butt thinks they're beautiful!
