Hello All, Christiano Micholetto has what he calls the original LM seats available. Here is an ok picture of them. http://photobucket.com/albums/v62/dauer962/?action=view¤t=IMG_1084.jpg any thoughts on installing these on a street F40 instead of the hard to find Euro seats? Thanks Doug
I've thought about installing euro seats and Sabelt harness in my car just for "the look" mostly. I don't really plan to track my car. Those seats look great. I wasn't clear from your post if he has 1 set he's selling or is offering them.... How much does he want for them? (don't worry, I'm not planning this change and wouldn't try to beat you to them. I'd only take a look at them if you're not interested) Do you know if the install in the car without mods? Do the need different rails or mounting points? I.E., can the car be returned to stock with no evidence remaining? for me that's always the main issue since my car is completely stock currently.
Here is what I have from Micholetto on the seats: The price for a set (02) of seats - medium size - is 2.232,00. They are available also in a bigger size, should it need. Two notes about the seats: 1) I have checked and none of our customers ever fitted the F40 LM seats with the seat rails from F40 USA (that are different from the european seat rails) 2) At this point the solutions are: - you try to fit the seat in the USA seat rails; - you purchase, here or at a normal dealer, the european seat rails (cost is 173,77 x 4 (seat rails) + 44,26 x 2 (seat levers))
would it be possible to post a picture of the bottom of the seat. I am interested, but I would like to make sure that the seat rails are recessed into the seat bottom so they do not sit too high. Thanks. Is the cover Nomex?
How are the Euro rails different?? I have Euro seats in my car and the rails seam to be the same as the U.S. seats. For those that have forgotten what a Euro seat looks like, here you go. http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84568
I emailed Micholetto to see if they could get us a picture of the bottom of the seat. Here is the last reply I got from Christiano: I am speaking about the EURO seat rails that we are sure they fit with the F40 LM seats. The USA seat rails are different from the European ones (as from the spare catalogue) and they should have some no anchor points for the safety belts. But, as told you in the past, this is based on the fact that other USA customers were requiring to us the sliders + the seats. If you use universal sliders (as in the F40 LM), you will have to weld the bushes for the safety belts anchor points (as in the F40 LM) because the standard rails do not have them. Best regards Cristiano Michelotto
Yes, the sliders are different. Sorry. My car has Euro seat belts so I forgot The U.S. cars have the mouse track seat belts. The euro seats have the latch bolted to the seat. You can see the diagram posted in my last thread. Rick
