Race seats for 240

ramrod

I'm getting a bit bored of the standard seats, what are others doing for their 240 race seats? I'll need an engineer to approve them however I am able to fit them myself, is there a mounting bracket available already made?

Alfa 156 leather ones go in and fit well.

Did you detail your work in the brapcar thread?

Mounted this Velo GP90 seat in my 240 using Kaplhenke brackets, fit nicely

Now I have twin Recaro SR3s (reclinable)

only one in the pic but trust me I have 2 now ?

@DCW242 did Alfa seats I think, total class and comfort.

Yeah I did a conversion for the Brapwagon, I went for cheapie Saas seats, not fixed-back, but my main thing was having some kind of side-biolstering, plus I'm very tall so I set the driver's seat about 50mm further back on the frame to get more leg space. I retained the original Volvo seat rails, and created a bracket using 5mm flat bar mild steel and box-section steel.
