broke the left hand side of the drivers seat in the safari today bloody thing.
so obviously need a replacement.
A wondering what would be a good replacement that has some decent support.
Am looking at going to fixed buckets but also interested to know if there are any seats from other cars/trucks that would be any good.
Am not interested in wrx seats as they are to small across the shoulder wings.
Fyi I am 6'2" so need something biggish.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
mike

I've got fixed back sets from
http://www.nzkw.com/nzkw-7701c-fixed-bu ... p-242.html (extra large version) and they are really good. I'm 6'5" and 130kgs and always have problems with shoulder width as well. (Ex blindside flanker) They handled racing in the Taupo 1000 with me in them too.
You'll need to certify them but well worth looking at.
