competition seats

Hi, I'm new to the board, and i'm working on a GT40 replica based on the T3 design of Randy Treadwell from Colorado. Melson motorsports took over the jigs and body molds and is producing this replica now. My question is, I have 18 inches of width, and 35 inches of height in which to locate a competition drivers seat. So far, all the Sparco and Momo and OMP seats i've looked at won't fit. Any suggestions? many thanks in advance.

Hi all

I am getting a pair of Franks seats, the standard seat is 17" wide and reclines at 124%
Regards

Chris

do you mean 124 degrees reclining? is that measured from horizontal? what are Frank's seats made out of, and what is the general price range?

thanks much

Randalf, if you look back to an earlier posting on SEATS (31st March) you will see pictures of the seats that I make, Frank

124% from the horizontal to the back rest.

Randy, I think about the only seat along the lines of those you mention, that is somewhat affordable any way, is the A4 seat from Corbeau. I am using these seats in my car. They are around $320.
