SV 40 Self Assembly

Everything made in the Scavenger workshop / studio is hand-made by U.K. Artisan , to a high standard. Items are not purchased, but a commission of a unique, well designed idea, not mass produced, but limited monthly batches.

The SV-40 self assembly frames have been designed for the customer to fuse together their favourite automobile seat into a one off statement chair. This could range from : Italian Classics , Iconic Brands , F1 , Gaming , Man Cave , Industrial Loft or even just a comfortable leather chair. Match a pair even. Certain styles of seats will be enhanced by a particular frame choice. A larger padded seat for example might might need a chunkier size frame. Most designs are on our website and pinterest pages which can also be made as a kit-frame for easier shipping , in its own designed box.

At the heart of this concept, is the UNI-BRACKET. Once fitted to the underside of the seat, it easily clamps with bolts to the frame. This enables the variation in different widths and depths of MOST car seats. Only Scavenger offers this concept with AUTO seating.

Please be aware that modern Auto Interiors have some awkward fittings. When the customer fixes their brackets some items might have to be removed by cutting or drilling. Most have a configuration of four fixing bolts, especially if the slider rack is left on. Totally manual seats are recommended ( non electrical), although some customers are wiring up for movement.

Air bags

Talking of electrics, if seats with air bags are being used, all cables should be cut and bound with tape. Then pushed into the upholstery, only an electrical charge will set off the bag. This is the choice of the installer.

Uni-Brackets are a standard length of 42cm in length , but can be cut smaller if required. A smaller pair can be requested on ordering . All come as gloss black powder coated with protective rubbers , bolts & Allen Keys. Please be assured that when you make a commitment , Scavenger will assist in every way possible to get your brackets fitted, even custom vertical ones if needed. Some measurements may be required if requested.

Every frame has a VIN plate ( Vehicle identification Number) engraved with unique numbers and riveted to the frame. These are logged for future authentication, to prove it’s an original Scavenger.

Self customise

Each frame has an extensive variety of options including: spray graffiti , rat rust , hand paint or cover in stickers. Add car badges, gaming aids such as vibration or even seat belts. Custom stretch for two seats or even a rear seat. Just make it yours !
