Potential business? Seats?

Mr_Q · Mar 15, 2013

I can't find rebuilt factory FOX seats anywhere. On Ebay I've seen there's a guy rebuilding the power seat tracks, but no one is selling FOX seats. Why? There are a lot of years those seats could fill.

I'm a customer looking and no one is offering. This is baffling.

I would dig some out of a junkyard or find somebody parting out a fox. Then go through TMI and recover them if they are in bad shape

for the seat TMI has it covered but if the track is broken no one is helping you there. everyone has there own Ideas so pre making some seats would be a waste

no it wouldnt, just beef up the bracing in the seats. my seat is leaning, i dont want to do tmi stuff if its still gonna lean to one side

Torch and a rubber mallet will fix the torque lean.

No, Dude's right. after going through two recovers on my seats in the last car,..it's not the upholstery that's the problem,...it's the frames. Either they are rusted, cracked or the springs are shot,...just recovering them wont fix it. Somebody needs to step up, and......Hmmmmmmmm

Tru dat. It's friggin brain surgery to get my seats back to stock that actually work. Although there are dozens of racing seats to choose from if I was building a race car

any seat from 94-2004 will bolt right in

yeah but i like my old ass porno red seats

I found this guide for repairing. I guess taking this to an upholstery shop is a step in the right direction. OR TMI could start doing this themselves. Buy up old seats and repair/re-foam/skin. Have you send in yours for core, etc.

Another dumb question....do 94+ upper seat back use the same bolt patterns? Could, you say, be clever and use a 94+ upper with the 87-93 lower? Thus no increase in seating height?

Except they sit an inch higher and really muck up the driving position.

I dont seem to mind, but im not racing I have a set in every fox i own

David Pepiton · Mar 21, 2013

Thats a good write up but in all honesty I think the seat backing plate need to be replaced with a slightly beefier piece or if it could be dimpled or have some sort of extra bracing.

I'd be willing to pay about $1500 for all new seats from seat track to head rest including new rear seat foam but that would all have to be new stuff with improved seat backs for the front.

Fox owners are cheap.
Very few actually anti up for $1500 stock seats.
Besides even in perfect condition fox seats aren't really that nice.

Me personally if i was willing to spend that much, i'd just buy a set of flofits and have the rears recovered to match. I believe flofit will even sell you the bare seat with cushions and frame then you have your place do the material.
