Wanted.....New Front Seats

Looking for Bernico or Cobra style front seats for P20.
I'm told standard Bernico's are too wide.
Does anyone know of a narrower version or a nice looking alternative?

Cheers

Steve

bernico seats will fit you just wont be able to fit between them when trying to get from the front to the back.
If you are serious about getting some then i can sort you out some casings and put you in touch with the trimmer who did mine who i'm sure will be able to trim them the same as your existing ones

New Front Seats

Thanks for the PM's and posts chaps.

Dowdy
Will have a look at Mastertrims website in a minute.
Have you any pictures of yours?
How supportive and comfortable are they?
Cost?

The P25 is just waiting for Cinzano to vacate the paint booth. Which has to be next week as it's competing in the Round Ireland Race early June...:o))
May post a build thread when I get more time.

So howz your 25 coming along then?
Did you buy the 250's for it?

Burty
Unfortunately I can't fit the standard Bernico seats as I have the Bow Tank shifter fitted in the floor between the seats.
A few years back the infamous Gav was going to make some narrower moulds. Don't suppose you know if he did, and if so, where those moulds went.

If anyone else has any other leads/suggestions it would be appreciated.

Thanks again

Steve

The original mould is mine, Gav borrowed it to build some seats, and you know the rest......

I've still got it, although someone's borrowed it for a while.

I think they are 340 a seat, but I'd have to check.

Cool!
They look great from the back, but have you any other pictures from the front and side? Looking for some with plenty of support and padding.

Cheers

Steve

Only these. They are only available in fabric, so they'd really need to be recovered in vinyl for marine use....

You know better than anyone what quality costs! It's a real shame that there isn't a bigger market for decent boat seats, but until some order's 20+ sets the vinyl work costs is always going to be expensive.

Absolutely!
As you know I'm building the 25 atm, or else I'd have had a pair.

Thanks anyway Tony.

It's nice to know what's out there. I might even change the Bernico seats I have for the 25 for those instead...we'll see

I have got a number of shells laminated from our moulds - but getting up-holstered can be a problem.

Seats are pretty narrow / snug and with the high sides really grip you in.

Can supply shells or maybe up-holstered
