KF Laser seats in Brumby

Post by TW83 » Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:54 pm

Hi, just a note to let ppl know that KF Laser seats are an easy conversion for MY/Brumby. All I had to do was elongate 1 hole in each of the Brumby seat rails by about 1mm and they bolted straight in.

I have pair from mazda 626/ Ford telstar from 89 - 91 , feel so comfy in mazda and the grey trim is factory look match BUT they were a bastard to fit up - to the stage that when I finished the RHS I gave up on the left until another time. The RHS has me hitting the hood lining of the Brumby so plan to sell to a shorter Brumby owner I know !


TW83 - how tall are you, and what sort of clearance do you have, sit higher, lower or the same? Jonno

The seat is probably about 50mm higher than the standard seat.

I am 179cm but suffer 'ducks disease' ie. short legs and long body, and tend to sit about the same height as someone 183cm tall. My head is about 100mm from the roof lining and I get out with no worries about hitting my head on the frame.

how would you describe the comfort of a laser seat?

Firm. Certainly not as comfortable as say a Liberty seat but a lot better than a broken Brumby seat. I haven't driven it on any long trips but it feels supportive and strong.

thanks for the um, answer. I suppose there was also varying comfort levels available within KF Lasers too , like the turbo AWD one!
