<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Out east, it seems the budget friendly seats we see most are made by Kirkey. There used to be a couple of models that worked well and looked OK in our cars, but 10 years ago when I bought the
seat for my TR3 I found only one that fit the bill. I seem to remember it was the Series 38.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><a href="https://www.kirkeyracing.com/category/Series38/38-Series-Standard-10-to-20-Layback">https://www.kirkeyracing.com/category/Series38/38-Series-Standard-10-to-20-Layback</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Figure a little over $500 for the seat and cover from Summit Racing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">When choosing a seat, you want one that holds your butt and torso firmly when strapped in, and since you will be sharing the car with multiple drivers that may turn out to be a compromise. The
seats come in different widths, and it really helps to have both you and the son-in-law sit in the a couple to verify the fit. Hopefully you will find one that is not too snug for one and not too loose for the other. If you run into trouble, remember you can
always fabricate a foam insert (or just stuff some foam in the right places) to take up excess room for the smaller of the two drivers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The seat needs to be attached to some real structure under the car, I welded brackets off the frame to give me real steel to bolt to, same for the belts. A pretty easy task on a TR3, the frame
is pretty close to where the bolts came through the floor on Old Blue. Just using big fender washers under the sheet metal floor is not the best way to go, especially considering the 60 year old sheet metal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Good luck, and I hope you guys make it to the Kastner Cup!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
