Charlie,
The 'seats' are merely a molded piece of foam with covering glued to them.
Dennis Olthoff used an air sander to grind off some of the driver's seat. I used a box cutter to trim off more once I got the car home.
Taking the seat out is simply moving the seat belts to the side and lifting it out. There are no screws, no latches, no fittings of any kind.
It's a piece of foam sitting on the floor.
I'll take some pictures tonight, if I remember to... and show you what I mean.
Regards,
Kirby

I'm not sure, but I think that the spyder roof must be specified at the time of order, but the doors can be retrofitted to existing SPFs.
I, also, prefer the look without the bubble, so you can imagine my dismay when I barely fit WITH the bubble.... I also like the idea of a GT40 spyder, but I have yet to see one that doesn't look like a sawzall job....
Kirby - Thanks for the pics. I have never seen the SPF seat without padding, so I can't picture what modifications I might be able to make. I have no problem at all with beating and bending the bottom plate, or having a custom seat made, provided the stock one can actually be removed. In SPFs literature, the phrase "seats - integral as original" has got me puzzled as to whether they actually come out or what.
If anybody has a pic of a disassembled or removed SPF seat, please post! |
