I know of a guy who builds aluminium ones which only weigh 1.5 kg

or these, if you want cheap / new / lightweight :

and 3kg / seat !

You can get very good GRP seats for £75...

well please tell us..

I've just checked, they've put their prices up since I bought mine You might think those seats won't be very comfy, but they are

Jonny, do you have a link? Would it be stupid to replace standard leather seats with them for a daily driver?

they look good and a great weight saving it just the comfort thing do about 100 miles a week in about 3 to 4 trips but if i did a long trip im i going to regret it

cheers

Here's an example:

These are different to mine but highly recommended. They often do good deals too.

I drove down to London in my kit car the other day... 140 miles and the seats are very comfy. You can get padding for them if you wish. The weight saving is huge

How safe are they in an accident?

I think if I was in an accident in my coop i'd be proper brown bread! Not sure what the airbags are like i'd imagine water bomb sized. Though Silma at p.i managed to escape scott free after being sandwiched between 2 HGV's

Does anyone have accurate weights for the standard seats, both cloth and leather (and Recaros for that matter).

I recently noticed that the carrellis were 18-20kgs depending on PVC, Cloth, or Leather and though that was pretty high...

cloth 16vt seats were 16,9kg / each

they look great massive weight saving

cheers

does anyone know anyone who has the triton seats in there coupe they look like just what im looking for and really light weight but if i have to build frame so are at right height will lose weight saving

any help would be great
