Kirkey Seat install-done

[gnxtc2]

Just finished installing Kirkey seats into my car.

I had the bracket made out of 1/8" aluminum. The ears on the bottom are 2" wide, height is 4.75", across the top is 12.25" and 14" wide.

The seat is the Pro Street drag seat, 18" wide, Kirkey part # 41900.

I modified the Kirkey rear seat support bracket. The tabs needed to be shortened, they landed on the embossed ribs of the seat. I made a bracket and attached the rear support to the crossbar. Kirkey part # 99202.

Seat cover is the black cloth, Kirkey part # 41911

Kirkey Seat..............................13 lbs
Misc hardware/bracket/cover......5 lbs
Total Kirkey seat......................18 lbs

Stock GN manual seat.......40 lbs

Total weight saving..........44 lbs

Total removed from the car so far......205 lbs
