BRIDE bucket seat in my triton!!!

[MonsterTriton]

hey guys,
i just got my new Bride bucket seats in my triton,
what do you guys think???
i will be selling them to, there is a variety of designs,

they really make me stick in my seat during fast and tight conering, as my suspensions are race spec,
the triton can coner faster that i can hold my self in my std seat,
now i feel like im in a full race car, at the same time i feel confident in pushing my car to the limit! ,
i had to get custom mount brackets, with double bolt through the floor and twin brackets on seat mount to keep it veryyyyyyyyy strong!

mmmm, that looks like a nice chair, I could have a kip in that!

[Sapient]

You need one for the drivers side that says Groom

[MonsterTriton]

haha, i was going to get the passenger side, but decided to keep them comfortable and sliding about hahaha,
hey atleast the weight center during conering will help with them sliding about to give me a better angel to drift haha.

i glad you guys like the chair, i decided to go for the leather to match with the tritons interior, and not to much for show!

if you guys want one i shall post a buckseat topic under the commonrail center section....

Cool seat. Looks like the Aerotech seat I've had in the shed for years

Here it is test fitted to my former 720 project, bent chassis and no $ ended that project

I've had a couple of Aerotechs, they were a fantastic seat, shame they went out of business...

oh yea,
i feel very comfortable with the seat, it holds me really in place

Hey Monster that seat looks good.

From my investigations though (in QLD at least) apparently fitting seats without a moveable headrest isn't legal - I would really like confirmation of this as I don't understand why.

Also customised mount brackets must be Engineer certified, and I'm having problems finding an Engineer that will go near it - probably because in the miniscule chance something does go wrong in a big accident and the mount breaks, the Engineer may end up in a little trouble.

I would be willing to waiver their liability no probs as it doesn't take much to engineer a strong seat mount system, that's for sure, but haven't yet found someone.
I would just do it myself but don't want legality or insurance issues.
If anyone on this forum knows someone who could certify or design mounts, I would love to hear it.
Just think..... 7 series leather electric BMW seats in your Triton for around $500 a pair - plus Engineering cert. Opens up all the possibilities.

I would be interested in a set in a cloth trim to suit the GLX-R what is the damage($) and will they fitt the normal seat rails?

[MonsterTriton]

moveable headrest, well that would rule out all bucket seats, which i find impossable, i see many cars with bucket seats, its a safety issue, buckset seats are safer guarrented.
the seat i got is adjustable, front and back, and with the adjustable back.
i find these the most comfortable buckseats rather than getting the one peaice, that i can also acquire!

as for the mounts, i guess the engineers dont want responsability, though for me i told the engineer what to do. it came with a simple single bolt, though that wasnt enough for me, so i got it double bolted, and custom side brackets to support the seat bolt. i will take a pic for you today.
in all honestly i was driving like a manaic and the seat holds me in place so well, i have not regreated changing my electric seat to this seat. its great!!!!!
i will take the pic of the mounts, and if the seat mounts seem safe for you guys, then i will make sure each seat i sell has these custom mounts.

btw i only sell the seats that are high quality not crap seats. most australians like my self weigh 80kg and above. and we need the mounts to support it!, only problem is that some are quite small, the size do range but never very large, my friend who is 6'4 and about 150kgs has alot of troubles trying to find a seat... even the ones imported from japan are made smallish, i guess the asian market doesnt concider big people haha.

anyways there is a range of bucket seats such as,,,,,
