So the weight has to be similar to original using original seat rails?
I didn't think about seat weight.

more to do with the strength on the front rail mounts (where they bolt to the car). more than 1kg than the stock seats needs some reinforcing. Looking at it not sure why but its on my list of stuff to do. Might just get stock seats back in.

Ha Ha, total fluke.....but suprised seats are so heavy, can see why race cars only have one light weight seat.
Quess its possible to remove a lot weight from a 1200 just by unbolting the seats and also carpet.

Passenger seat -12kg
Back seat -20kg (another quess)
carpet -10kg (another guess)
Fit 6kg race seat -6kg

Total -48kg


Thats a lot of weight loss from a couple of very simple mods.
