I can never decide whether to put bucket seats in the Nova instead of the current GSI ones. Does anyone know the weight of a GSI seat? If there's a substantial weight saving to be made, that could help me decide :)

I lifted 2 at once and it hurt my back :(

damn heavy. Thats all you need to know.

Buckets on ally sidemounts, welded in would be a significant reduction.

My buckets with sidemounts weigh about 7kg each IIRC

Thats about half of a headrest's weight!

Edit just looked, may be more like 15KG each...

Cheapo steel framed bucket seats on steel subframes won't offer much, if any, weight saving. Fibreglass back seats and ally sidemounts will.
