A pair of Sparco R100s going into a Skyline R34. The Planted bracket, the runners, cloth against vinyl, why the BRIDE rails you have been looking at will not take this seat, and the one question Garreth asks before he lets anybody order the lot.
Five reclining sport seats for a Toyota Chaser, from the Sparco R500 to the Recaro Sportster CS, on the same Planted SB418 bracket as our bucket guide but with runners in place of side mounts. Includes which runner matches which bolt pattern.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Volkswagen Scirocco Mk1, with the Cobra and Planted Technology frame routes that bolt each one straight to the factory mounting points.
Five reclining sport seats for the Ford Fiesta Mk5 ST150, with the Cobra direct-fit subframe that bolts each one to the factory mounting points without drilling.
A Locust takes much the same seats as a Caterham or a Westfield, but it is a kit car, so the cockpit is whatever the builder made it. The five shells we would put in one, the 40cm versus 44cm decision that cannot be undone, and the measurement to take before you order.
Nobody makes a seat subframe for a Karmann Ghia, and a Beetle one will not do. What you can actually buy, what has to be fabricated, and why the whole Auto Style Classic range sharing one bolt pattern makes the job easier than it sounds.
Every Custom Cages kit for the classic BMW models: the 2002, 2000, CSL, E21, M6 E24 and M1. Historic and Multipoint weld-in kits, T45 and CDS, with current prices for all 12.
Five reclining sport seats for the Ford Escort Mk7, with the Cobra direct-fit subframe that bolts each one straight to the factory mounting points.
A hawkeye STI, a pair of Recaro Sportster CS seats out of a Juke Nismo, and the question of what mounts them. The Planted bracket and Recaro runner we would use, and why Garreth wants photographs before anyone orders anything.
A six foot five bodybuilder with a 34 inch waist and a big upper back needs a tall, wide shouldered shell that is still standard at the hips. Why the XL seats are the wrong answer, and the four fixed back buckets we would put him in.
Three roll cages for a Ford Cortina Mk1 compared in detail: the configurable Safety Devices F003 bolt-in, the Sparco six-point that attaches by its feet alone, and the Custom Cages T45 weld-in historic kit. Spec, price and which one suits your car.
The Corbeau LE-Driver is the one seat in the Lotus LE range that does not bolt to the brackets already in your Elise or Exige. It is a side mount shell on M10 fixings, so it needs mounting worked out for your car. Here is how it differs from the LE-Pro, LE-Standard and LE-X, what the S1 M6 drilling job actually is, and what to sort before you order.
