Re: New Skippy Car Components Survey #3 of 8: SAFETY FEATURES
I hope I didn't scare people too much with the bead seat cost. The $1000-$2000 range is if you hire a top seat making pro, a guy who does IndyCar seats for a living.
I believe we will be able to make perfectly safe bead seats in-house for far less, especially when the materials are bought in bulk. I think the $300-$500 range is attainable. When we get to that point, we'll know better. Has anyone out there done a bead seat on their own and can chime in? I've only done it with a hired pro.
And of course, 2-part foam is still an option in the $100 range, and works very well in the R/T 2000 these days.
Keep those comments coming! Thank you all.
