Seat Bolster Supports to suit NB seats

Postby twr7cx » Mon Jan 28, 2019 11:49 pm

Are the Paco Motorsports Seat Bolsters < https://pacomotorsports.com/product/seat-bolsters/ > the only known kind to suit the NB seats? Any other brands/options? The freight from the USA for them seems to be ridiculously expensive (around $260.00 USD). Or anyone know of a supplier that's more reasonable?

Both the Jass Performance Seat Bolster Supports < http://www.jassperformance.com/shop/ind ... blog&id=60 > and IL Motorsports Seat Side Bracket With LED Light < https://www.ilmotorsport.de/shop/articl ... 70&lang=EN > list as to suit NA only.

I'm just going to throw this out there.

But anybody with a grinder and access to a sheet metal brake can throw one of these together in about 15mins.

Obviously most people wont have a metal brake in the shed, but pretty much every engineering shop will have one.
Make up a template out of cardboard and get a quote, probably wont cost much. And you can shape them to match exactly what you want.

Cannot see much benefit. Hinder you getting in/out of seat, and would eventually eat a hole in the side of your bolster.
