Planted seat base
Guys,
Do any of you have on of these fitted or bought one:
http://www.plantedtechnology.com/produc ... right.html
Are they worth the money in terms of fitting and quality of build.
About to order one but I thought I had better check it out with you lot first.

Re: Planted seat base
See Eddie_r32 and kiwigaz as they've had them in the past - should be able to find their comments in the search but kiwigaz may not reply to messages as he's sold the car now.

Re: Planted seat base
Nick,
Thanks for that; I remember examining Gareth's seat base and liking it, did not realise it was a Planted.
I will go ahead and order one.

Re: Planted seat base
I think there's some talk about it possibly not being MSA compliant if that's something you're after for some reason.

Re: Planted seat base
I’m looking at getting some bucket seats, so the Planted base allows the side mounts to be installed onto it? Gather if adding a sliding base will make it too high?
Also, what do you do with the seat airbag sensor?

Re: Planted seat base
Pssh, sliding base.
Keep it fixed so that would-be thieves can't drive your car away... or in Ed's case: so that I can't safely drop it off back at his place

Re: Planted seat base
No need for compliance; I have an out of date carbon race seat which is too good to throw away so I will put in the 8 for track days.

Re: Planted seat base
Imagine how scary It is when it's your car.
But yes good bits of kit, I had a Chinese one for the passenger side and you can definetly notice the difference, funnily enough the Chinese one had a slightly better seating position!

Ay Caramba!
Now you tell me Neil makes them
I have already ordered one.
Does Neil make anything else interesting before I go buying from other people?

Re: Planted seat base
My turnaround was pretty rapid as I already had the mig fired up on all cylinders doing some work for Wayne. Not normally that quickEddie_r32 wrote:I may need one, will be in touch
I’ll wait for some actual feedback from Ranjan when he gets it fitted as a benchmark before I start production.

Since I am not in the UK my staff kindly sent me this picture of Neil's seat base.
Thanks Neil looks brilliant
Will not be able to fit it until the car is returned from Ben's.
