  • Who has "racing/Bucket" seats?

    If you dont mind would you post a pic of the seats...and brackets if possible, who did the brackets for you, and what you like/dont like about them.
    Heck, if you have a harness (safety belts) post a pic of those and your harness bar too please.

    I just bought a pair of bucket seats recently off Craigs, $50 for the pair. I don't have pictures of the brackets, but I do have some pics of it outside the car. It'll be a while before I install them, otherwise I'd send the pics to you installed. Happy hunting!

      $50!! Either there is no market for these things, quality grades go from 1 to 10, or they have no resale. Belt webbing alone has to be at least $2/foot and just adapting the rails is an undertaking unless you chicken out and weld everything to the floor.

          My Red Festy has just an old racing seat in it that we got for free of my parents friends we just cut the stock seat off the original bracket and welded the racing seat to it so the seat also now has height adjustment.
          Here's a pic if it helps!

            Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

                I bought mine barely used from a friend, but I have always used Sparco or OMP seats in the past and I prefer Sparcos over these corbeaus. One great thing was that the previous owners wife made nice memory foam cushions for these and with those installed they are much more comfortable. With the standard foam they put too much pressure on the under my thigh area and it's not comfortable. I also have had great luck using memory foam lumbar cushions that I get at truck stops. They are black, and match my seats and I can sit on them or put them behind my lower back. These Corbeaus saw over 40,000 miles this year (including a 6000 mile trip from coast to coast and back).

                    Yeah, they have corbeau rails between the seats and the brackets.
