Seat Upgrade

This blog covers the upgrade to the factory seats

Seats
A concession to the military theme of the cockpit is the leather covering of the seats with a upgrade to the comfort levels.

Both seats have been covered all over with leather, this was done based on the advice of the motor trimmer as it avoids the issues of the securing the edges to the rear of the seat as done with the factory covering, so the shell is covered all over in black leather with a felt liner fitted to the interior seating face.

The seating face consists of three [3] separate parts - headrest / back - seat cushion - front leg support and are held in position with Velcro strips fitted to the back and inserts as required. In addition an adjustable lumber support is incorporated into the back cushion secured by the Velcro strips fitted to the seat back.

The lower seat cushion has a high density heat forming foam sourced from Aircraft Spruce that provides better butt support.

Passed the floor mounted comfort test and the smell off leather cannot be beaten.
