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 Dimple Die Holes and Rivets Our Lightened Aluminum Hot Rod Bomber Seat DIY Kit is one of our latest bomber seat offerings. Unlike our welded versions with curved seatback, our DIY kit version is much more traditional looking in that it is truly designed to be a recreation of an aluminum bomber seat, aviation rivets and all! The kit features pre-cut and drilled bottom, seatback, and side panels, with reinforcements, and enough aluminum universal head aviation rivets to complete the assembly. These are not Pop or blind style rivets, and will require the proper tools, such as a pneumatic hammer and bucking bar, to properly install. Built from the same .090-inch aluminum as our welded , the DIY kit features a less aggressive 13-degree layback design and is just a hair taller at 22-1/2-inches. Our Lightened Aluminum Hot Rod Bomber Seat DIY Kit comes in roughly an inch wider than our welded bomber seats at 17 inches, providing a little more room in the hips if you need it. A .340-inch rolled bead edge on the vertical side panels aids in comfort, while the 3-7/8-inch seatbelt slots accommodate both 2-inch and 3-inch lap belt configurations. As assembled, the seats provide a 6-degree kick up for thigh support, which can be increased by angling the assembled seat further during installation. The panels can be polished, brushed, painted, powder coated, or anodized for a custom appearance. This can be accomplished upon completion of assembly or applied to the loose panels to provide a contrasting look with the aluminum rivet heads once assembled. Classic Bomber Appearance That Fits Almost Anywhere The universal mounting ability of our Lightened Aluminum Hot Rod Bomber Seat DIY kits 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. Note, these mounting brackets are designed more for our welded bomber seats but should work for our DIY kit with a minimum of fabrication. A set of our basic steel is another option that may work for your application as well. Pick up a pair of any of our Aluminum Hot Rod Bomber Seats for your hot rod build today and be ready for your next long haul.
