I'm looking to get a new sport's drivers seat but it would appear that both the Sparco and OMP subframes don't quite work without additional metalwork. GSM sport seats charge £35 to add brackets to each of the above and I think they might just be mimicking what the tophats do so to that extent I am looking to buy a pair to save most of the cost. Let me know what you have and how much they will be with postage

Many thanks
 
Yes that will be plan B if nobody on here has any. I'd have to do a bit of hunting around though as the nearest breakers yard started winding down a few months ago, hardly anything left now which is a shame. Plenty on Ebay though so will contact a few to see what prices they want as well
 
Contacted a few sellers on Ebay and within 5 minute's one of them has got back to me with £20 for 2 posted. Not dirt cheap but heading on the right direction. Hopefully the others that I contacted will get back to me and I can play them off a bit against each other to get it down a bit more. Still might be cheaper and less hassle than running around trying to find some though

That true, Goodluck with the hunt. You could always try Ian G on here he has loads of Puma parts!

Cheers for the tip Brian. I'll see if I can get in touch with him
 
£20 sounds right for the top hat riser, they are becoming increasingly rare now. I had a the pair that I sold along with my sparco subframes a couple of months back.
 
Checked on the shelf and I've none there, needs a trawl around the yard to see if any of the older cars can donate.

I'd be about the same for price by the time they're posted unless you want some Project Puma discount to seal the deal ;)
 
Hello Ian

I'm just holding fire until I get the Sub frames in my hands to see if I definitely need the raisers or not so don't go trawling just yet. After further talks with the shop I'm intending to get the frames from it looks like they do actually need some sort of leg attached to the rear to account for the puma's bumpy floors it'll be a case of seeing how they fit first

I'll be in touch when I know what's what, cheers

Cheers Adam but I'm only looking for a single unit which Id hope to get for around £10. Did you fabricate those item's yourself?

I've just noticed these on Ebay as well for anyone else looking to get a pair

Ah I see. I was going to congratulate you on your skills if you had made them yourself!
