Question GT3 seats: weight differences

I'm trying to ascertain how much weight the leather and fiberglass of the conventional GT3 seat add to that of the fabric and carbon fiber of the CF version. Does anyone have those figures?

Default from Mr. Carnewal

"The GT3 seats with carbon backs are available in fabric and in leather.
The only seats that I know of are carbon overlay.
That makes that the weight for the normal backs and carbon backs is nearly
the same.
The weight for the fabric seat with carbon back is 11.5 kg
The weight for the normal GT3 seats with leather is around 13 kg"

I took the weight of my leather/fiberglass ones before installing them:

- Shell on leather with no cushions: 14.5lbs
- Rails and mounting brackets: 11 lbs
- Leather cushions: 2.5 lbs
