Forum Power needed - Bucket Seats :D #1191529

I am starting to do a search for a decent set of bucket seats (non-Fiat) for my coop.

I have seen the carelli but find these too tight on the legs - seem to hold them really close together (sweaty b.......s then), so these are out.

I don't mind what material they are made off, but it would be good if they...

- Had brackets to allow the seat belt buckle to be fitted too
- Were reclining
- Had brackets that allowed easy installation in the coop
- Colour needs to be black or black/yellow

Your help would be appreciated....

I'm half a stone lighter than you and don't have any issues, although I should lose some weight too

Recaro speed don't come in real leather,there is also no where to mount your seatbelt!
