Cipher or Braum seats
so another thread was going for seat choices. I have Clamshell seats already in my 76 and find the very uncomfortable. I am looking at other choices and came across these on fleabay. Has anybody ever sat in them or used them? I checked the forums but found no results for a C3 My seats are in decent condition and are OEM cloth so I would like to stay with something that breathes. Here are my existing seats.

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that they're both cheap, uncertified and untested, and therefore unsafe in my opinion, brands of seat. Lots of the various cheap seat brands have had failures in normal use documented time after time on various forums. If you have an accident and your seat breaks then your likelihood of severe injury or death goes up hugely - not to mention liability if you have knowingly fitted an uncertified seat. Personally I wouldn't risk it, good seats cost a bit more but the safety and comfort are worth it.

Hey Buddy, do you want C5 seats, You'll have to make some brackets or adapters. Trade for the suspension help in the future
