Alternative seat option

[cliffords]

#For those with an AK and a big bum, I got my Interiors seating ( was Richfield) RX**** whatever they are called today. I had them made with two inch either side narrower bases. Ashley at this supplier broadly new what was needed.
Have just sat them in so far , however they do go all the way back to the rear, giving me the leg room, and after a very quick check, give me the height needed to make the SVA block test. I will find this last bit out over the coming weeks.

As an alternative for the bigger bum, they seem very comfortable.

Knew they would sort you out David.

Look good as well.

They also made me some, I am 6' 5" tall and needed extra leg room.

I also had my pedals cranked.

With the new seats and new pedals, I gained approx 10" extra leg room

I sent them a wooden template of the rear bulkhead and they made the new seats to match.

They are very comfortable (I prefer to sit more upright) and look the part.

We are currently going through this conundrum but our answer to the AK seat situation is a MX5 Series 1 seat narrowed on the base by 2" but keeping the seat back as standard.

Remove the reclining mechanism ( watch the fingers here as the captive springs take no prisoners) cut the tin can seat base in half with a jigsaw, overlap the two sides by 2" to get the structural integrity back, and fix together again using either bolts, pop rivets, a brilliant welder who can weld metal thinner than my hair, or larks spit, and you have some seats that are not only comfortable, supportive, and safe..............but they also have some speakers in the headrests !! Bling or what !!

Cheers,
