how comfy are they.....im sure they couldnt be the best comfort wise but are they bearable?

how much?

Nick

Do you mean fibreglass buggy seats?
I've got them in my manx with a vinyl padded cover that slips over the outside. They're pretty comfy as you sit in them not on them if you know what I mean.
Graham

hmm i think we are talking about the same seats. ill find a pic.

like these ones in duckys old buggy

Ok, those are made of plastic, mine are the same shape but made of fibreglass

did u buy them graham or did they come with the manx?

Nick it is up to the person, but for my self the plastic seats in duckys old buggy are VERY uncomfortable for short or long trips as they do not mould to your back/butt as a lined fiberglass seat when the foam padding is correctly installed.

hmmm ok.....interesting....anyone got a pic of these fibreglass seats?

Not the best shot, but here's a pic

and another to show the tops

they look good graham. u know anywhere that sells them?

No sorry, I got the bucket cheap second hand, but the covers cost me $240 in a UV resistant vinyl....

Give Volks mod a ring as they have that seat mould and are willing to produce them.

thanks guys

nick the plastic ones are illeagal to put in your car

and you better check with your engineer about the fibre glass ones if they not adr complyant then they wont plate them .

so mybe have a talk to custom and there engineer
and go from there

terry

i had a brainwave today while i was ten pin bowling........i glanced accross at the acade bit and theres one of those racing games with a steerinwheela nd stuff......and the chairs are exactly the same as duckys old buckets!

i wrote down the company details off the machine but it was old and had an out of date 6 digit phone number maybe i can score some for cheap attached to an arcade machine lol.

Again they wont be ADR approved. The LAST thing you want to break in a crash (esp a head-on) is your seat. Things get very messy very quickly.

its not that you might get hurt is who you might hurt

and the consiquences you will face by law.

your insurance will wipe you stright away

custom has a set of those seats but the law was changed a while ago so the customer couldnt put them in his car.
terry

yeah i know.

and i understand and you are all very right. it annoys me though because i want to get my car to the stage where i can just pull over and hose it out without worrieing about stuff getting wrecked.

what do you want to know

Hi Ducky, I just got back from an overnight stay in Strahan (Tassy) which is about three and a half hours drive from here. The seats pictured, although not armchairs, were fine for the trip and it was heaps of fun. We even got to play in the sand. I just wanted to know a few things like, how long since you had the car, did you do the mods, what are the changes you saw that concerned you. The previous owner only had it for about 2 months and details are sketchy and second hand. Any info would be a bonus.
