Bomber seats for Hot Rod

[oldguy668]

I bought these for my Roadster but they don't fit. The guy that made them is trying to develop an alternate that will fit the roadsters angled cockpit walls. In the meantime, these will work great in your '33 and look more "correct" than the standard FFR seat. I paid about $325 for these including shipping. In an effort to make my loss your gain, I'll sell them for $250 plus shipping. You will have no trouble selling your stock seats, with the added bonus that the stock seats will fit in the box that I use to pack these. It doesn't get any easier.

Joe,

Nice seats. You may want to give some measurements of the base so folks know if they will fit. I had to do custom seats for my 33 because it is narrower in the front than in the back.

Henry, do you know the front width?

Joe,

The front of the seat is 16" wide and the back is 18" I have the seats mounted 3" higher than the floor. At the floor level, the space is 15" at the front and 17" at the back. Make sense?

Damn nice seats!!!!!!!!!!!!

Henry just blew up my parade. These guys won't fit a Hot Rod either. Off to Ebay, I guess.

Sorry Joe - just trying to make sure everyone is happy ;) They are beautiful seats though.

Next I suppose you'll be wanting your corner scales back?

These seats are AMAZING!!! take the upholstery off, crop an inch down the middle, weld them back together and re-upholster them... Who said building these cars was easy, cheap and required zero customization???

Just my thoughts man... these seats are very very cool. If I didn't have my Kirkeys i would make them fit for only $250...

bump for these seats...

You need to be a vendor to advertise here. It's a simple an cheap process.

I just spent about an hour or so checking into Bomber seats....lol There are a bunch of places that make custom ones. When I did searches, a lot of forum stuff came up at Jalopy Journal and H.A.M.B. forums, which had some names of people doing custom seating, but most of them I couldn't find any websites for.

I am sure some bomber seats solutions have been found between the last posting though.

Here are a few places I did bookmark though.

From what I see, it looks like Hunt's Seats makes the ones for Speedway.
