Once ive done the deal will get a group buy price etc and indvidual specs..

Wanted mine done first so I can see the quality and finish and then able to show peeps ..

But will they comply with crash test standards?

Good point !

Why do you know something we don't.

What crash test standards if they are any, do a copy of a seat have to meet ? (same runners and seat belt point) ?

What on a road car !

There cobra seats, and the company are able to supply to order so in-effect any of the range, currently they dont do one like the recaro in ours, but watch this space and then with the holes and carbon backs .. bingo ...Jeeez ..

Hence why I was waiting till they were all done till I gave all the detail.. as I said its all in hand and will be as good as the OEM ones in there, road car compatible but with the extra FIA stamp so also good if tracking with harness holes and the ability to tailor it to you if so desired .. simples

Great stuff Daz, I can't believe they weren't carbon as standard

I was referring to the structure of the seat rather than the mounting points, I wouldnt like to imagine someone being in a crash with a copied seat and end up loosing their life because the seat wasnt up to the job. Doesnt matter if it looks nice in CF or not.

Thats great, will be very interesting then, look forward to it. Are they supposed to mount on the original brackets and thus tilt (even only a little)?

OK so esentially a Recaro Pole Position in the CSL finish with a CF back. I would love some with holes but that can still tilt like the original ones.
