Default Seat inserts for sport bucket seats

I remember there was somebody who made these, but cannot find them online or via search. Anyone know the name of the company or person?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Never knew Sean made seat inserts too. I have his bolster and headrest protectors.

Do they make the foam too? I'd be interested in a turn-key product that replaces the existing Nomex-wrapped cushions...

Anyone know if the leather outer covers and alcantara foam covers for the early GT carbon buckets (non- reclining) are available anywhere?

Talk to heritage upholstery and trim. They make complete bucket inserts that include the covers and new cushions. They source the foam seat cushion directly from oem for you

+1 for covers from Ted at alpha bedding and also +1 for heritage, I've used them both. Heritage can get you the oem foams and provide you with a complete drop in solution. They use a 100k cutting machine and their patterns/cuts are the best I have seen. They can also add in the heating element if u want to retain heated seats in your car which is what I did when I added the gt2 buckets

Try www.pegasusautoracing.com. I purchased inserts and foam sheets from them to customize the fit of my Recaro seats.

My bad, I thought you were asking about bolster and head protectors. I don't know if he makes the inserts.

Got prices from Heritage. Prices have doubled since 2012. Only ones that responded thus far.

Are you referring to the gt2 seats or the fixed back buckets? How much did herritage quote you?

Heritage makes inserts for both the fixed back and Gt2 seats.

+ 1 for ted and alpha bedding. Have the alcantera inserts with yellow GT3 embroidery on seat back. Put away the leather inserts the GT2 seats came with for the future in a closet. was about 350 for a set.
