AC 289 Cobra Seats

Post by StuBaker »

I'm on the next chapter for my seat. I'm happy with the trial seat so I want to make something more original.
If anyone has plans, dimensions - a seat to measure!! whatever they'd be gratefully received. I'm trying to do the early ally bucket seat. I have some photos but no dimensions but I'll have a go anyway. Practice makes, er, more work?
One dimension I have seen is the steel tubular frame at 3/4" dia. This seems a bit big to me. What do you think?
Thanks in advance,
StuB

Update:
I've seen AC ACE BE 370 and AE 1061 at Anglia Car Auctions. Seats are in a great state of disrepair - ideal for measuring. Wish I could afford the car though!
Anyone know if these are the same as early AC Cobra 289? Although the tops look like the earlier squared off ones...
Pretty sure they're not Cobra type but best option I have to date.
I can round off the seat rear as that's what I've already done with my test seat.
