    Kirkey 56 series, Got it used, I have the padding but its not in any of the pictures. It is more comfortable then you would think even with no padding. I had some Sparco's in my old Mini.

    If you really don't give a sh*t about it, prove it.

    Put a Sprintex on it.

    Thanks for the info! I would have them modified to use side mount brackets, but they would fit the Rat-MINIs next look pretty damn good! (Military/Aviation[emoji6])

    As for the SprinTex I wouldn't even consider it an option! I had the first one! Still have it sitting in the loft of the garage with the original sales receipt from BoosTec in CO. Springs showing that it is kit #11... 1-10 were pre orders and hadn't even shipped before mine was installed.

    [​IMG]

    I was thinking of just filling it with a few pounds of Tannerite, and slapping it off the face of the earth with a 30.06, but if you're serious about destroying a perfectly good MINI there really is no better way to do it! [emoji12]

    I'll take $1500, but you might have to hunt down some hardware.

    I got the side mounts brackets for the Vintage style low back seats, but need to make a bracket to work with them because the spacing of the holes in the floor is larger then the Kirkey Brackets and I want them to be a bit higher up.

    Kirkey Vintage seat installed. Part # 41500V

    So since I do give a ***** and want to be able to put my stock seat back I made brackets to work with the Kirkey Brackets.
