Just bought 2 sets of seats

[abmunro]

Revolutions Recliners








Also Brand new seat of Sparco's

[Monty]

First 2 look comfy and at least you can keep the seat belts to but they weigh a bit

[abmunro]

Yes the 1st too are both comfy and alas heavy.

I was thinking of asking if anyone else on here wanted to replace their old seats with them.

The shoulder wings arte 56cm wide too.

Look good - how much? I might be tempted if the price was right

[abmunro]

I paid £200 for the Leather ones. So I would only want my money back.

There is a small mark on one of the seats and there is a triangular wheel on both sides of seat for reclining. One of the wheels is missing.

I guess that wouldnt matter as you cant access both sides anyway

Never been a huge fan of those Sparco ones myself. Not really comfy and as a cheapy entry to the market there are others out there that seem better for the price. sure you got them for a good deal though Never heard of the revolutions before but they look very much like the Universal eBay style recliners you get. Would of thought they would be quite easy to fit being base mouted

Do you currently have Stock Elan seats?

[abmunro]

I currently have stock Elan seats.

I just wanted a set of seats for track days.

The very versatile Mr Bob Brown will make me some brackets for the bottom.

I am going to leave the passenger one in fixed position and have driver on on sliders.

I will only have to change them 2 or 3 times per year

I got the Sparco's for £190 for the pair new and in wrappers. I sat in them and found them to be quite comfortable.

[kenich]

Will you be using harnesses with these? Something I would love in my Elan. Those Spraco seats gave me a numb bum after a drive to Brunters

[abmunro]

I think so.

Time will tell if they become uncomfortable

Tony

[texas2201]

That is a good price Tony but need to wait as I am skint at the moment and I just bought tony006's track tyres as spares

would they need runners? or are they a direct fit?

[abmunro]

They would need runners


There is nothing with them.

[kenich]

Iv some Sparco runners I don't need if anyone needs any? I used them when fitting my Sabelt buckets.

[texas2201]

If they fit the Revolutions I will have them

[kenich]

They are for Sparco seats. Though they fitted perfect onto my Sabelts, who obviously used the same seat dimensions as Sparco an others.

Not a clue if they will fit Revolutions though. Not aware o that brand of seat.

[texas2201]

the leather seats at the beginning of the post

[abmunro]

I will measure the bolt hole distances when I get home

As far as the Revolution seats are concerned you could always do what Monty did with his Cobra seats Link which pick up on the original seat mounts in the tub and still retain the original seat belt mount.
Brackets should not be a problem just ask.

[texas2201]

Thanks Tony and Bob - no rush this is a next year job - but out of interest PM me the cost of the adapters Bob when you have a spare moment

cheers

Fitted - next time I come up with another idea of fitting seats to a car - somebody take me outside and give me a good talking too - please..............................

Only successful with the help of Bob and his aluminium brackets Thanks Bob for the phone calls/emails/drawings which enabled a complete numpty to fit the seats

And after all that Bob they are only marginally lower than standard?

Martin





look good though and are very comfy - will have to take them out again when the harnesses arrive....................Doh

[kenich]

Look good in there, bet your well happy with them

Envy you having A a rear roll bar and B the option to run harnesses
