Title: CVX/CVZ Seat Pedestal
Post by: 75starflight on May 14, 2014, 03:19:21 PM

Now that I am finishing up on Phoenix Rising's upgrade I am finding myself starting to turn my attention to the CVZ project again. Its been quite here at work today so I started looking at seat pedestals. I am wondering if anyone could tell me what the height of the original pedestals would be? I am thinking they are 7.5" with a slight tilt, but I am not sure.

Brandon, here's a pic of the pedestal from my CVX.  They do tilt back. Are they the same as the ones in a CVZ?
Not a good view of the tape measure.
Anyway it's 4 3/4in. at the center, 4 1/2 in. at the rear and 5 in. at the front
The base is  7 1/2in. wide and 10 in. long.
The top (were the seat mounts) is 6 1/4 in. square.

My CVZ-19 had the same seat bases.

Sorry Brandon, my z has aftermarket seats that use a flush mount and pin arrangement. Sit really low, but feel like the correct height at speed.  Let me know if you need any pics or dims of my seats.

I picked up a set of original bases a while back.
