Yobtaf posted up a link for some EMPI jeep style seats that were a pretty good deal. http://coloradok5.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2642687&postcount=1 Not sure what the outcome of his posting was but here's mine.
I purchased and received these seats in Grey. Although some comments indicate one size fits all, I'd say not really. I'm 6' 185lbs (thin) and their tight on me. However they fit my 8 year old like a glove, and my 5 year old loosely which is what I'd hopped for.
Recently I posted some comments about my stupid pipe bender so I'll stop that rant right now and continue this one. I cut what was left of the pipe I hadn't mangled and tonight I'll finish up the install.
Old seat: FOR Sale BTW.
My helper: Not for sale BTW.
partial box of New DIY4X stuff
Closeup of front mounting points using the existing holes and reinforcements etc:
New Seats with new Corbea seat belts. I'll get harnesses later when the kids are a little bigger and I have a better idea of the cage plans, and obvoulsy a bender or a wad of cash for Dr. Smash to design build one.
Hardware from DIY4X bolted to seats for measuring purposes:
Frame tack welded and squared up. Used a chop saw to fishmouth the 1" ID pipe with 30 degree cuts.
Temporarily mounted again to the seats:
Test fit into place:
REmoved and primed:
Painted and drying for installation tonight:

Looking good! I just got the pair of gray buckets I ordered bolted in on Monday. Had a 4hr drive to Austin afterwards, and definitely more comfortable.
