Hi all, new here, hoping someone can help. looking for any ideas for a seat for my buggy. I would like to stick to the bench style most of these had or is there any vehicle someone has pulled one from and used it in this style of buggy.

Looking at the one picture you have uploaded to theSamba what you have is not a Berry Plastiglass Mini-T. It is likely a Action Fiberglass T Buggy. The Action version has a windshield with a flat bottom, the Berry version is curved.

The Berry T buggies did have a fiberglass seat base and I suspect the Action T buggy did too. They are quite rare and I have not been able to find one for sale. As near as I can tell, the 4 seat version of the T buggy used the same seat base for the rear seat. I don't know if the Berry version of these would fit an Action T (or the other way around). I've also got my eye out for a soft top frame, but have not found one for sale.

Thankyou , I did not know that, It's been many years since I've played around with dune buggies, this was a family members' now mine and I am in the process of restoring.

I have bucket seats in mine. Looking over all the photos I've posted on theSamba there is not one good picture of the seats. That's likely because the cheap fiberglass bucket seats are not one of the better points, but they are functional. Here is the best installed picture of the seats I've posted. It was actually about how I attached a rear view mirror (and to this day I've never been hassled about lacking a side mounted rear view mirror).
