Product Information

Full details

The Kirkey 24 Series Quarter Midget seat is designed for young drivers in racing applications like BriSCA F2 Micro cars, Autograss, and stock cars/Ministox. Its primary benefit is offering a secure, durable, and appropriately sized seating solution for children, constructed from TIG and MIG welded aluminum for strength. A potential consideration is the need for proper, secure mounting to the vehicle's structure, as it should not be installed on sliders.

FAQs

What age range is this seat suitable for?

This seat is designed for smaller drivers, typically children, and is ideal for quarter midget and junior stock car applications. Specific fitment depends on the child's size and the vehicle dimensions.

What is the primary material of the seat?

The seat is constructed from .100" thick 5052 grade aluminum, with TIG welding on the exterior and MIG welding on the interior for maximum strength.

Can I install this seat on adjustable sliders?

No, Kirkey strongly recommends against mounting this seat on sliders. It must be bolted directly to the vehicle's roll cage or a structural frame member.

Does the seat come with padding?

The seat itself is constructed from aluminum. A high-density foam padded vinyl cover is available as an optional accessory for added comfort.

What type of racing is this seat best suited for?

It is ideal for junior racing classes such as BriSCA F2 Micro cars, Autograss, and stock cars/Ministox.

How many points are recommended for mounting the seat?

Kirkey recommends mounting the seat in six places: four on the base and two below the shoulder strap slots, ensuring they are as far apart as possible.

What is the layback angle of the seat?

The seat features an 8-degree layback angle.

Troubleshooting

Seat appears unstable after mounting.

Verify all six mounting points are securely fastened to a rigid part of the vehicle's frame or roll cage. Ensure no part of the seat is mounted to a flexible component or sliders.

Driver experiences discomfort during long runs.

Consider purchasing the optional high-density foam padded vinyl cover for added comfort. Ensure the seat's 8-degree layback is optimally positioned for the driver.

Harness straps do not align properly with cutouts.

Adjust driver position slightly or consider alternative harness mounting points on the vehicle that complement the seat's harness cutouts. The seat features multi-level cutouts for adaptability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Installation: Kirkey recommends mounting this seat directly to the vehicle's roll cage or a structural frame member. The seat must be bolted in six locations: four on the base and two below the shoulder strap slots, spaced as far apart as possible for maximum stability. Do not mount the seat to sliders. Ensure all mounting hardware is robust and properly secured.

Compatibility: This seat is designed for smaller drivers and is suitable for various junior racing classes including BriSCA F2 Micro cars, Autograss, and stock cars/Ministox. Ensure the seat dimensions (13" width, 8-degree layback) are appropriate for the intended driver and vehicle.

Care: Clean the aluminum seat with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the aluminum surface. If the optional padded cover is used, follow the manufacturer's instructions for vinyl care. Regularly inspect mounting points for any signs of wear or loosening.
