Robert Budd is converting a pair of standard manual seats to sport seats for me. The seats are very basic with so electrical features. I am trying to decide if I want to add heaters and/or lumbar support and I am looking for some BTDT experiences/photos from you.


Seat Heaters: Robert will add seat heaters that come with their own switch and relay. All that is needed is to connect to 12v +/-. I am curious to know if anyone has done this and if you have any pictures or thoughts on the installation of the switch and the wiring. Were you able to connect it directly to your OEM seat heater harness if you had one?

Lumbar: Robert offers two options; an air bladder+squeeze bulb style and; electric style lumbar. Has anyone added these. I am leaning away from the electric lumbar control because I am assuming it will add weight and complexity. But I could be wrong. So I am looking for BTDT with either of these options. Pictures and commentary are appreciated.

For reference here are the donor seats: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...ort-seats.html

Does he provide the heater element as well? If so, what is the cost? Sorry can't help on your post but I have 12 way seats and have been considering adding heat.

For my seats, Robert quoted me $250 for seat heaters and manual lumbar control. So figure about that, I am sure Robert would prefer to quote each project separately.
