    Wookie Seats

    Michael and I both need wookie seats.
    6'0" #290 & 6' 3" #270
    Our requirement was enough legroom and helmet lower than roll bar.
    Seat: Kirkey KIR-47900 Aluminum, Intermediate Road Race, 15 Degree Layback, 18 in. Hip Width
    Cover:KIR-47941 Black tweed cloth

    To get us low enough, we mounted the direct to floor/cross bars of the 818. (no side brackets)
    To get them back far enough we reshaped the seat. At 16" above the floor we cut the seat and welded to 0 degrees layback the rest of the way up. This satisfied our requirement but forced us to relocate the gas tank.

    We have sat in the seats for three 2 hour autocross sessions with no complaints.
