Maeco Motorsport in Northridge, CA, has these seats specially made by Kirkey-occasionally in stock--but usually available on back-order. (For Cobra Spec racers I think) The price was $395 with upholstery, plus $95 for two 1/4" thick, bolt-in, fixed seat mount brackets. (I had to cut mine down due to the fact that my seat had to sit directly on the floor of the car.) Maeco's phone number is: 818-701-1923.

The driver's seat above and below is manufactured by Kirkey to custom specifications to appear more correct in older cars. The high back and the shoulder side bolsters of a typical Kirkey seat have been removed. My original Abarth seat was not made for racing, nor does it offer adequate protection for the driver in nthe event of a rear end collision.

Above: Here's how the seat looks in bare aluminum, before installation. The sides were painted in black Hammerite, often used by Abarth.

Above: Here's how the seat looks with its snap on upholstery. I'm not happy with the cheap 'dune buggy' appearance, but the seat is comfortable to sit in and very sturdy. Eventually, I hope to replace the upholstery with something that matches the quality and appearance of rest of the interior better.
