 |
|
Hello -10 builders,
I was unhappy with the back seat frames supplied in my -10 kit. So I designed a high back back seat set and worked with a local machine shop to create the tooling to make them. They are a 60/40 split frame and designed to match the front seats. They have square chrome-moly tube back frames, with round tube headrests, just like the front seats. The frame is black powder coat, while the aluminum seat back has been powder-coated with translucent gold so it is almost an exact match of the front seats. The frames will be fastened at the bottom with the standard piano hinge configuration as supplied in the kit. The idea is that you can take these frames to anyone and have them covered to match your interior without having to be locked into one upholstery vendor.
At this point, the proto-type frames will be at Oshkosh at the Cleveland Tool booth. We got them done just in time for the trip to Wisconsin. The finished product will be a bit better, as the seat panels will be cut with a water jet for a more exact fit. Due to timing, we have not created, not determined the cushion or padding configuration. Mike Lauritsen, Cleveland Tool, is running an Oshkosh special on the frames of $425, with a price of $450 after August 1. Sorry I forgot to bring the pictures to the office so that I could post them. I'll try and do this before I leave for OSH tomorrow night.
I will be at Osh all week. I won't be camping at HQ, as I will be camping with Chapter 135 and the Replica Fighters, but do feel free to call my cell phone listed below. Hope to see you all there!
Pete James, #40100 - 90% done, 90% to go! Finalizing the panel decisions this week. (Just can't stop customizing, Grr!)
