SveausDE Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Yesterday we received the first seat, which was covered by a saddler. We are having 5 pairs made. The price has not yet been calculated before questions arise What do you think of the look? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Pounsett Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 It looks best in the second photo. It looks black rather than grey 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Look good but should have gone recliners tbh, I see bigger market and tbh better prices. These are mine 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Nice seats, manta B floors have a raised section, I think it is for gearbox mount or exhaust clearance, a pain really. Be nice to get the seat mounted lower. I was lucky enough to buy original blitz material about twenty years ago. The remade material is completely different. Hard to beat a nice Recaro, and would imagine would sell, as fitted to alot of retro cars, and would sell...... Sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SveausDE Posted November 14 Author Share Posted November 14 thanks for your comments. in the first picture the fabric looks very grey, but that's just from the flash of the camera. We have the fabric made in germany and have used an original 400 series interior as a sample for the fabric. we have come very close to the original, but it is not 100% possible because the yarns were different 40 years ago. this fabric cannot be compared with the fabric that comes from turkey. the base for the seat is from ‘BRIDE’. but you can only see that from the lettering in the plastic bushings for the safety belt Regards Sven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian N Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 I would love a pair for my manta build , especially if they're FIA certified. but the cost i can imagine won't be cheap! Worth it though in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
