WTB: Arcade Game Seat
« on: July 09, 2007, 06:08:59 pm »
Hi.  I'm in the process of building an extension to my cabinet to play sit-down driving games with a wheel and pedal.

I'm looking for any kind of arcade-style driving seat in reasonably good condiiton.

You could use a seat from any car... lots of guys have done that and it works out well.

Thanks, I considered that.  Just looking for something a bit more compact and arcade-like.

Tazernutz,

Can you recommend a seat?  Cheapest racing seat on JC Whitney is $160 which is the same price as a new seat from Happ.

A lot of the other racing seats I've seen are only sold in pairs.

Thanks.

Thanks DM.  What..  no Happ seat?    ;)

I'd be very interested in seeing pics of your playseat setup.  I looked at this but wasn't sure how to integrate it with my current cabinet.  I might be able to do it if I separate the seat from the rest of the frame and mount them separately.

Would you be willing to provide any information regarding seat dimensions and the height of the seat above the floor?

Looks ok to me.
