who here have carpy seats?
« on: April 18, 2010, 09:28:36 AM »
despite the fact it fit perfectly, the airtech seats glass is so thin i just didnt stand up to someone my size sitting on it. do carpys seats have some good thick glass? i know i'll have to fab some way for the seat to work with my hinges and latch but other than that and the surface not being paint ready, any issues?

I have a Carpy "Dunstall" seat.  It's not finished or painted, but I did have it modified with zeus fasteners (no hinges).  The glass is pretty thick and seems very solid when I sit on it (185 lbs).  Like I said, it's not finished yet but I have no complaints.

shy of my gelcoat issue, my rocket four seat is perfect. only 2 strips of 3/4 ply for mounting it (im skinny) but i didnt think about it when my 250lb dad took it for a ride. held up just fine. the tail has a little flex to it, but im not too worried. now the seat i had from caferace.com, that was some solid #$%*...

that ford blue 750k in their ad?  thats my k4 back in 2006 i had their very first production seat. i didnt like how the seating area was smaller than on other seats. but yeah that seat is close to bulletproof it's so damn thick  ;D
