You should be able to make your own bench seat to fit. 

Use marine ply, cut to shape, then take to a local trimmer or furniture upholsterer and get them to pad it and cover it.

As for buckets, all depends on what style and looks you are after.  There are plenty of kit car companies who have a variety of styles.  Then there are seats from other cars, but best to avid ones with airbags and electric positioning as the motors are heavy.

If you are after classic fibreglass buckets, then Pete at Fibrecraft can sort you out.

To anyone thinking Cobra.... check out thoroughly.... I have spent a lot of money on 2 fully IVA compliant seats from Cobra.. They are a UK, family based set up of long standing and most of their output is to meet FIA regulations for the racing lads. Comfort obviously not a requirement there. It`s the internal structure that is needed.

My two are not what I would have liked in my buggy but the quality for the money spent is there. Durability is a number one concern as mine are vinyl and I think could be very easily damaged.
