I'll pull one out and weigh it when I get home tonight.

Hi All:
Does anyone have the weight of their seats? (with or without the base)

looking for a suitable car seat and want to know what a finished seat
typically weighs so I don't end up with too much additional weight - if

Thanks,

FYI - John Mach of Cheyenne, Wyoming is selling an O-320 Rebel, listed
on Trade-a-Plane (http://tappix.com/733580) He installed seats from
Oregon Aero (OA) that look very nice -- and slim. I don't know what they
weigh but FWIW, OA claims to make very safe seats. Might be worth
checking out.

Thanks Steve, Mike and Jon for your comments.
The reason I asked about seat weight was a result of seeing some auto
racing seats in JC Whitney that looked good and the price was right. ($160
fabric and $300 leather) I called them to get the weight and the guy said
they were 37 lbs. Even with a steel frame, it's hard to believe they weigh
that much. The MAM steel frame base only weighs 4 lbs. I agree with Mike
that the MAM seats would be the easiest way to go, but I wonder how safe the
frame is. Could be worse, onceI was looking to buy a Wittman Tailwind and
the builder had used lawn chair frames to build his seats.
