Default Carbon seat shells

1 pair that measures 16 wide x 30 1/2 tall, and 16 wide by 20 long for the back and bottom respectively.
I got 2 pairs and cut 1 open to see how they where made, and 1 is being used for something.

The seatback is 5/8" thick total, is foam cored and has aluminum tabbed in for the hinges.
The bottom is 5/8" thick total, is foam cored with wood inserts around the 4 bolts,
and has aluminum tabbed in for the hinges.
The lip that the aluminum is tabbed to is approx 1 3/4 tall

They came out of an airplane and the hardware was reused
They are not pretty but they're pretty cool and light as hell, could be used for something.

25 bucks plus shipping

Will send you a pm with contact info, pay pal if you have it.

I have to make a correction, what i thought was aluminum bonded in for the hinges/brackets is actually many many layers of carbon with a nylock nut tabbed in.
I didnt know this until the other day when i trimmed the lip down to an inch on the seat im messing around with.
