Fibreglass seat on eBay

[alolympic]

Looking for a lightweight seat at the moment and am pretty keen on the seats available through JK Composites.
I've also seen these on eBay which look pretty good, just no idea about quality.

Does anyone have any experience?

Don't know where mine came from... but they look very similar.

Look ok to me

Excellent, wasn't sure I'd be lucky enough to hear from another buyer.
Do your seats seem strong with little flexing?

recently drove an MK Indy..seats like pictured in the blue seven looked identical...they came from MK.

very comfortable and good for driving...not sure of the ebay ones are similar

they are basically two pieces stuck together ie two seats one smaller than ther other with captive nuts in the base. not much flex at all. i mounted mine on seat runners

Got a pair of seats from JK composites for my tiger. Very happy with them. Quality is very good.

I've got these seats from the same eBay supplier but the older style with the lipped edge. They are fine, very comfy (I have JK seat pads in it though) but the captives werent very securely held and I've had to remove 6 of the 8 (4 per seat) and replace them, there's loads of thickness of fibreglass though so I've used wingnuts which have more surface area so bond better and haven't had any problems since.

I ordered a pair of these last thursday and despite the 3 week estimated delivery time they turned up this morning. Upon first inspection they seem spot on for the money. Theres a very small chip on the lip of one but the edging strip will cover that. There's a couple of swirls in some areas of the finished fibreglass although they can only be seen at certain angles in the light, i can live with them though. As for comfort the must be the comfiest seat i have ever sat in! very supportive. I'll be more than happy to post up any pics of certain areas of the seat if need be. As already mentioned they need a bit of finishing off with edging strip and the backs.
I had read a few horror stories about the company selling them but i have had no issues what so ever.
