Hi, does anyone know where Lotus sourced their front seats? Are they shared with anything else?
Thanks

Front seats
When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, no matter how impropable, must be hit with a hammer

Re: Front seats
Some Jag seats are a reasonable substitute I've read. The rail mounts are nearly identical. Nt sure what your issue is, but this might be a solution for you? Should be searchable in the forums for which model and what is involved in the retrofit process.

Re: Front seats
Yes I've heard that and seen some pretty nice substitutions as well. Unfortunately my lack of imagination leads to a slavish pursuit of the original so I don't really want a substitute. I can see I'm going to end up biting the bullet and getting a recover/refoam.... But that will have to wait a bit!
