I need some new seats for my new 69E. It looks like people are liking the Bielstien/GTS seats as well as the Vintage Seats seats.
Any comments on what you have tried and liked? I want to find a classis seat with provision for 5 point harness. The car will be driven at DE events and I am looking for ideas which are more or less "period". Here is a photo of my new ride. Thanks BK By the way, this is my first new thead as well first picture post so apologies ahead if I screwed it up. |

The BF Torino/Beilstein seats can be bought with 5 point provisions. Here's a writeup on mine. I would buy them again. Awesome seats.

I'm thinking along the same lines. Do you like either of these?

I got these Pro Car seats made by Scat for $300 at the Pomona swap meet. I liked the vintage look and boy do they hold you in place.

Kallgren,
You can see pictures of the Bielsteins I have in my car and my comments about them here: Period correct seats for 5-pt harnesses?

Bob: The wheel is a Momo "Super Indy" it looked right for an early car, Kind of a mahagony prototipo. I also liked the Momo "Grand Prix" Again a three spoke but with dozens of smaller holes in each spoke. Looks just like somthing you would see in a a 60's F1 car. But hard to come by. I think I got this on on Ebay for $125

The tires are 205/60R15. The rear is 24.5" to the fender lip, the front is 25 3/16" to the fender lip. I haven't measured using the factory methodology yet. Thanks Bill

Everybody,
Thanks for all the feedback, I see a new set of these Bielstiens in my future. I have been busy staining the garage this weekend and will get some more photos shortly. Thanks again, BK

I bought the Bilsteins (with sub hole for 5 point harnesses) for my 73E. I started making some backets for them but didn't get finished. You know what I'll be doing over the next couple of evenings.
