What are the best seats for a buggy
Ok I am trying to decide what seats to put in the buggy I am building. Now it will be used and abused meaning yes i expect it to get full of mud etc.
What seats do you all use and who reckons theirs is good and whos are shit:thumb I am thinking of going for the molded plastic ones with the removable
covers for ease of cleaning.

I used fabric seats in a race cars for years. Size and comfort sould be your main goals(plus cost). Molded plastic seats are normally big and
uncomfortable. The durability of a vinyl seat is good but ya bum sticks in summer. So I would get some cheap seats out of a jap import and replace
them if you stuff 'um

I agree with Seagull
comfort first. besides, when the plastic ones get soaked, the covers will slide around all over the place on them.

Hey Andy....I've got some high back fiberglass ones here you can have.They have the padded plastic covers that you can remove and hose down:thumb. I
opted for comfort with my new ones in the Manx because to drive anywhere to have some fun was 1 1/2-2 hours and my fat arse got sore. Will post them
to custom offroad next week if ya want them.If you don't I'll post them there anyway....:P Was thinking of getting them covered in wetsuit material
and reusing them but could not be bothered........let me know.

ummm, was a while ago, I think about $300 each?
I think they conform to ADRs. My engineer didn't check. Ring Revolution to be sure. BTW, apparently you can get them in a few different colours. I
saw some orange ones once.
Oh, don't buy their adjustable seatmount kit, it's crap, make your own. Just get some rails to go with the seat.

I reckon Toyota Celica seats are the duck's nuts... Easy to come by, cheap, hard wearing and very comfy and supportive. Of course the first thing you
should measure when choosing seats is ya arse... ---> (_|_) <---
