So many things that had to be sourced used or from other vehicles back in the heyday are now available as perfect modern copies. From body parts to interior, it is truly much easier to build a hot rod today in whatever style you desire. A perfect example of this is the classic aluminum bomber seat. History is lost to who may have been the first to grab the seats from an old surplus WWII aircraft and bolt them into their car, but it was an extremely popular way to go back in the 1940s. The seats were lightweight (perfect for the burgeoning racing scene of the '40s), cheap, and looked pretty darn cool as well. Today, commonly referred to as "rat rod seats,"you can find recreations of classic aluminum bomber seats for sale in many styles and we offer a couple of great options for your build. Traditional Looks with More Comfort One thing vintage bomber seats were known for is that they did not usually provide a high level of comfort, even with the original bomber seat pads that came with them. Let us be real here, they were bare aluminum "butt buckets"designed to be as small and light as possible to fit in the cramped fuselages of military aircraft. We have taken that original design concept to a fully welded seat hand formed from .090-inch aluminum sheet and added a 20-degree layback seat angle with a one-piece curved shell to create more comfortable bomber seats for those long drives we all love to take in our hot rods. With an overall height of 21 inches and a 16 inch inside width these Aluminum Hot Rod Bomber Seats will fit most enthusiasts and provide hours of comfort on the road. For additional comfort we offer drop in bomber seat cushions in our and a great looking black tweed cloth snap in that not only look sharp but work together very well. A .590-inch tubular rolled edge adds strength to the seat along with classic looks. Classic Bomber Appearance That Fits Almost Anywhere The universal mounting ability of our Aluminum Hot Rod Bomber Seats means they will go into just about any vehicle project you have in mind. There are no mounting holes pre-drilled, so your mind is free to determine the best method for mounting. You can fabricate your own mounts, or direct bolt the seat to your sheetmetal. We also offer a slick set of universal that you can bolt, rivet, or weld to these seats once you have determined the best mounting height and angle for your application. A set of basic is another option that may work for your application as well. If you are looking for something a bit more retro, we offer a of our Aluminum Hot Rod Bomber Seat chock full of dimple-die holes. Lastly, for those with a knack for the DIY we have a more traditional aluminum that you rivet together yourself.

May need some slight modification to flatten the top but will be close to period correct. Yes, I recommend this product. Used seats in a VW based kit car. Great fit! Rated by BP on January 02, 2021 Summary: The seats were installed in a Fiberfab 52 MG TD kit car. The car has a 2.5 front drop and a 1.5 rear drop. Tires are 135r15s front and 205 r16 15d rear. The seats really added to the look I was going for! Yes, I recommend this product. second set purchased Rated by Dave on December 19, 2020 Summary: This is my second set of seats Sold the first car and building new one Yes, I recommend this product. Great product, very fair price Rated by PhilaCarGuy on November 11, 2020 Summary: I am modifying this seat to fit in a small British sports car by adding a headrest and a thigh extension, and adding brackets to allow it to mount to the existing sliding track in the car. Once the metalwork is done, it all be taken to an upholstery shop to add padding and cover in leather. This will gain me several inches of legroom over a stock seat. Yes, I recommend this product. Nice lightweight seat! Rated by 73GeeTee on August 14, 2020 Summary: I bought two of these about a year apart. Product consistency was good, I was able to use the same pattern for the upholstery on both seats. Shipment of second seat was delayed but Speedway was very good about keeping me up-to-date on the status. Yes, I recommend this product.
