Vixen 2500 Seat Buckets

I wanted to inquire about the availability of the fiberglass seat buckets like the ones in my Vixen 2500…. Were they used in other models of the Vixen? They are different from the seat bucket in the 2500M.

The reason that I ask is that there is a discussion going on about trying to re-create the original designer seats of the Pantera.

These seats were on the demo cars, but we’re never on the production cars. With the seat buckets look like they could be created from the Vixen design.

anyway, here are a couple of pictures of the Pantera seats. They are very cool.

These yellow seats are from a Pantera in Japan, but illustrate a custom implementation. Obviously, the original seats would be quite a bigger challenge, but the implementation of the LLC doesn’t seem like it would be insurmountable.

2500’s use the same seats as an S2 Vixen. S1’s use a similar seat, but low back design.
Not sure how well Pantera seats will fit.

Thanks. The Pantera seats are very narrow, so I was thinking the Vixen seats may fit…. Really need to do a fit check.

Right now we are just investigating possibilities.

Thanks for the update!
