Title: Seats and subframes to fit a Hustler?
Post by: BikerMike on April 26, 2021, 07:20:01 PM
Hi Everyone,

I am looking for new seats and subs for my Hustler. The current Mamba bucket seats are well past their prime.

Advice on where to buy or what choices there are would be gratefully received. I've tried loads of internet searches but must be looking in the wrong place.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Plenty of seats around after market and production car seats. Decide if you want high or low back fixed or reclining cloth or leather
Production car ones can be heated, speakers in headrests mx5, cappuccino, smart car and a few others.
You can bolt through the floor with spreader plates, fit seat wedges or modify them onto the beetle runners but the sit higher.
Best look at the pictures and members buggy builds.

I struggled to find anything that would fit, so brought a scrap pair and had them cut down the middle. This reduced them by 70mm, just waiting for the new upholstery.
