A case for aftermarket seats in stock

Hi Greg and others on your stock seats. I know for a fact you can tie up 1200 bucks in 2 Jaz aluminum seats (not as tall as Kirkey). That is if you want to make your stocker look stock. You know the custom matching upholstery. I made all the mounting brackets/hardware for mine, lightweight of course. It took about 6 hours and had them plated with yellow Zink. The $1200 doesn’t include the plating or material for the mounts. Oh, don’t forget you must support the backs of both seats to the crossbar of the rollbar. They may be safer, not sure, but they are definitely lighter. The Kirkey and Jaz seats have some covers, but don’t match most interiors. M. J. Quinn did my seat covers to match my door panels. I had the opportunity to set in Jeff Nicewanger's Jaz seat before doing mine, much better than the Kirkey. Kirkey is what we put in Glenn Betz Sunfire.
