Default Lotus Elise Seat FS

A black Lotus Elise (2005) seat, with mounts attached, and a alcantara set of cushions which can be removed (velcrowed) if you want the lowest position. I am 6ft. 1in., 180 lbs, 34x34 pants. This seat works great for me; the cushions make it comfortable for long drives, unlike the stock Elise padding, (or lack of). I also have a pair of lower, non-slider mounts I made out of steel, which gave me the exact driving position I wanted. They can be drilled to make fore and aft adjustment pretty simply, but are currently set where I like the seat. Seat with attached mounts, $490. plus shipping, floor mounts $45. both plus shipping from 49686. A few shots of the seat installed.

I'm looking for a pair of these. I don't suppose you have the second seat hidden somewhere else, do you?

What was your back angle for this installation? I appears to be more than the 20* of the sheet metal that goes from floor to package shelf.

Just this one; buy it, and enjoy it while looking for the second.

Can't say for sure now that it's out, but I like a relatively upright driving position. It has a lot of adjustability design in; it can be mounted for and aft, just by drilling some holes in the base plate adapters, and back angle can change by stacking washers, or making a spacer to change tilt where the back bolts to the floor plates, or skip my fabbed up stuff, and buy mounts from one of the venders.
