seats
Anybody know of a decent source for Corbeau or similar quality seats??? They sure have gotten spendy, but I'm not about to belt my butt into one of the cheapie knockoffs that will fold on impact!!!! I suppose I'm waaaay too old to be a crash test dummie, but sometimes stuff happens!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Never heard of Corbeau, Dave. Are those some high dollar items?

Dave - Why not see if you can find some Recaro's out of a '90s BMW. I was going to use a pair in my roadster until about 4:30 this afternoon when I decided the Glides would look better so put the Recaro's back in the corner and installed the others. The Recaro's that I have are very solidly constructed. I took a look at the Corbeau site and 25+/- pounds each is not much structure.Dave W

I took one heck of a tumble at better then 150 with good belts in a Corbeau seat.... The seat stayed together and I stayed in the belts!!!! It'd have to be a Recaro race seat with the belt cutouts, got to have a 5 or 6 point (plus my beloved sternum belt) harness and I won't run with the belts coming over or around the seats.... Gotta remember, my idea of a "fun cruise" starts in the mid 9's @ 140!!!!! (Then replace the slicks with some Hoosier DOT slicks, slip on the collector mufflers and call it a street car!!!!)Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Dave - figured you were going to put it in a road car, not a track vehicle. You don't want street Recaro's for a race carDave W

Corbeau has a couple different styles, Falcon. The reasonably priced (about $250 ea.) are a composite fiberglass shell. The one I had in the big wreck was the series 2000, steel frame, tig welded---but now that my source is retired, retail on them with a few option goodies is about $450 ea......SpendyYesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
