I wanted to come up with some bomber bucket type seats but something that had adjustable seats and backs. So I came up with the following. The concept seems good but the execution needs improvement. I’ve got about 20 pounds of aluminum in this thing, but I think I can cut that in half or more.

A little drilling and the seat assembly is down to around 8 pounds.

the bolt heads will have to be round head or they will dig in your hips on a long run, ask me how i know, problem is that then the nut and end of the bolt will stick out of the seat sides and rub on the tunnel.

"end of the bolt will stick out of the seat sides and rub on the tunnel"

I can go this one better. I can't even access the bolt without removing the seat. You all know how that goes, you design the perfect car part, and something on it manages to be all wrong.
