 They are comming out!



I have had a set of COBRA Imola II seats in my coupe for a year or so. I added the passenger seat occupancy detector mat so the SRS light doesn't light and created brackets (10 or so) trial and error for the seats.


Well I am pulling them out and reinstalling the stock ones this week. I have the passenger seat back in but I'm waiting on two screws for the drivers side.

They were nice and all but I miss the adjustments the stock ones provide (the heat doesn't matter in south florida).

I remember that there were a few mods for the stock seats. something about adding bushings in the adjuster and threaded couplings to tilt the seat and maybe something about lube. I found the delron bushings are from doug Whalen. Hope he still has them available. I have rod couplings so the tilt should be ok. Am I missing anything?

by the way my three (3) Cobras Seats are now for sale.
2 regular style and 1 narrow width. Just PM me if your interested.
