Title: Front seats
Post by: ghentlan on 29 August 2007, 13:40

Guys,

I'm replacing the front seats from a 16v with Cobra Monaco S items.

Any ideas how much the originals weigh?  They're the ones with electric height adjustments.

The reason I ask is that these Cobras are relatively heavy in terms of buckets (9.2kg each), and I'd like to get a feel for how much I'll be saving, or worse yet if I'll be gaining weight.

Thanks,
Mark

P.S.  Any advice on the task of changing the seats gratefully received!

the seats are the easiest thing ever to remove.

1 nut at the front where the lever is for sliding, really small, undo that, lift the lever slide the seat back out it comes... with the electrics, probs a case of unplugging the wires for the leccy height adjustment. will litrally take all of about 2 mins honestly, take them out and weigh them is your most reliable option.
