Help Me Find These Seats!

The only thing I can find in my collection is in the Ferrari F40 kit, which I could use, with some minor modifications. But I hesitate to ruin my F40 kit for a pair of seats.

Anyone seen these either in a kit, or the aftermarket? Thanks!

Found these on Hiroboy, but like everything else on the site, it's "Sold Out." :roll:

And these from Studio27, also Sold Out...

Those look like the aftermarket seats that are included in the Revell Tuner Series Ford Focus SVT. Sorry I don't have a pic as my seats hve been long gone, but I just reviewed the instruction sheet...they're a pretty good ringer for the real deal.

I hope this helps out.

Hmm... glancing at the pic on the front of the box, you might be right...

What about either one of these..

OR

But still, if you after the exact replica of those seats, you may need to modify them.

Hope this helps you out.

Definitely looks like the Sparco Sprint (http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_comp.asp?id=622). It would make sense since Sparco themed products are popular with a lot of F&F/Tuner styled kits. I doubt the quality is any good. You'll probably still need to do a little modification.

Yup, those definitely look the closest I can find yet. Guess I'll post in the classifieds, I was hoping not to buy a new kit... Yeah, the biggest difference with his seats is that the ass portion seems to be a lot deeper, the front where your knees come up is much more steep. But I can form that with putty.

For what it costs me to have seats shipped from the parts box I might as well buy a kit :)

well, i found a kind of 1/24 racing car seat which looks just like those on the pic. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=4462145019, i've no ideal whether you can reach this website because it's a Chinese website. i tried to help you find this kind of seats on ebay but failed. by the way ,this kind of seats is called racing car seat -type A,B,C,D on the website i gave you. you can try to search these on some USA online stores. or you can get a seat and shape it with some putty. at last, i have to say my english is not good, hope you can understand me.

By far that would be, IMHO, the closest match to what you're looking for. Since the Sprint seats are made to be an affordable race seat, there isn't much innovations put in to it. Simple function is all. The seat angle is almost perpendicular compared to most other seats, the torso side supports are also triangular. Most all other examples being posted are based off the Recaro SPG it seems. Not impossible to modify, but if you can find the SVT Focus kit I'd opt for that first.

the seats from revell focus svt is actually very, very close to what you're looking for

however, they seem a little smallish to me...

and there is no seat back detail.... it's just like.... smooth curved surface...

Very, very close, even the seat bottoms are the same... Would you be willing to part with those?

That pic confirms that is the EXACT seat you're looking for (albeit the stitching pattern is different). Sparco has sold this seat for years and years now (The shop I used to work for was a Sparco dealer). They've only recently updated the stitching/fabric design.

Go get 'em! :iceslolan:runaround:

I'd still rather buy the seats from someone instead of the whole kit... :(

ummm i guess so...
since i don't really like their looks anyway
hope you can make good use of them
XD

i'm in vancouver canada and i'm never done any shipping or stuff like this

I'll keep those in mind, but they're not the sparco style I posted above, I would have to do a fair bit of modification. The ones in the Focus kit are ideal.

I'm very interested

You could just make a cast of the F40 seats that you have.

Assuming I knew how? :p
