When you have chance to put one of your fine seats on a scale, I sure would be keen to know how much one weighs....

Thanks Colin

For those of us on the other side of the Atlantic that's roughly 10 lbs.

TJB616, if you decide to sell, I would be interested in purchasing. I have a single authentic driver's side seat, and it is hard to find a second single seat for the passenger side. Please keep me in mind.

Thanks for your interest, not long to wait now.

We should be good to take orders in a week or so, after the first shell covers have been patterned up, made and fitted. Once this is done I will post the photos of the finished seat with prices with options on trim and seat finish, i.e. raw carbon as photo or fully lacquered and polished, and then start taking orders.

Are you saying these are FIA certified seats, and only weigh 4.5 kg with the panels? That's hard to believe.

My guess is this is the weight of the carbon shell only.

The seat shell weighs in at 4.5kg, as stated.

Hard backs do very little for driver support. I never understood the strong desire for them.

This is the style of seat you want for sprited driving. You will not be disappointed! Just a few works of caution. One be sure they fit your body type. If I recall the recaro versions were narrow in shoulder and waist. Two they do take some new techniques for entry and exit. Initially they were a PITA , now it's a non issue.
