Noble seats

[MadMacMcMad]

I am after some Blue or Black or both alcantara M12 or M400 seats.
I have cream leather ones and want a change. Silly I know.
Where might I get some from, or is there anyone out there that may have a pair clogging up the garage after upgrades and want rid.

If you've got a 3 you don't want M400 seats as they don't fit.

Try the eBayer selling the broken car in the earlier thread.

Thought about that, but not sure I fancy using seats with such dubious history. If I knew the previous owner got out safely, then maybe !

I think that's unlikely and also the seats themselves will have suffered a trauma in an accident like that anyway.

i might have a set of seats that are black n blue will know later next week when i get my others

You could always get them re-trimmed by Auto Interiors, they did the leather work on the early Nobles built in the UK and then were involved in training the factory in South Africa.

I got a different colour handbrake and gear gaiter from him a few months ago, when I was there he said that he would be happy to do repair or re trim work directly if needed. He also does Noble headrests and mats.

Change of plan, I am having my existing seats re-upholstered here in Wokingham. Replacing cream leather with black alcantera with slightly different stitching and lots more padding. Also having a decent amount built into the head support, so that it actually does something. I'll post the results when I get them back.

Got the seats in.They do hit the rollbar ,but can be sorted when i get them leathered ,also the seat bottoms are to flat so i can either wedge the fronts or pad the front when they come out again.If i was going to do this again the seats i would get would be the konig recliners as used on the golf r32 as these are thiner and not as tall

must admit i like the look of the originals.im going to have both sets leathered.Biggest downside to the milano 2 seats is the weight of them

hi richard changing the seats is a bit of a mare
1 the base of the seats are to wide and siit on top of the strenghtening bars
2 They sit to flat to the floor
3 The reclining knobs foul the tunnel
4The top wing on the seats hit the roll bar
1 and 2 .ive made a set of sliders that lift the seat clear and also a 3inch angle to push you back in them.Down side was you sit to high but made 2 brackets at the base to lower and angle the base cushion
3 had to remove one side of the reclining knobs and cut 2 inchs off the through bar ,but will be covered when leathered
4 removed fabric from top wing and adjusted the framework very slightly
down side is the weight of the seats and make rear quarter view difficult
Took the car for a 60 mile run with the drivers seat in place and i must say bloody comfy as
