The following documents and videos should provide answers to many of your questions. If you still aren't sure, please contact us.
Here are some of our most frequently asked questions.
The way the shopping cart on our website works, we must show a product “IN STOCK” or it cannot be added to the cart. If it is marked “OUT OF STOCK”, all buying options are blocked and the price is hidden. We show “IN STOCK” and give you the estimated lead time in order for you to be able to purchase a seat online and have your order placed in the lineup. Some styles of seats may be in stock at many dealer locations across the USA, UK and Australia. If you need a seat sooner than our lead time, we may be able to direct to you to a dealer that has one in stock. You may also browse our Find A Dealer page and see the description for each dealer, listing the most popular products they carry.
When placing an order with us, your card information is stored on a secure payment site, we are given a location on the administration side of this page, where we can click “Charge Now” . We cannot see any card information, only the Shipping & Billing Address, Phone Number and Email address you provide. Your card is not charged until we click the “Charge Now” button on our end. This way if an item was out of stock, or changes are made to the order, we can adjust the total and charge the correct amount without having to make multiple orders.
If you need a custom seat, the first thing you need to do is download our Seat Measurement Form and fill it out completely. Please read and follow all the instructions on the chart, all measurements are “Straight-Line” measurements, do not bend the measuring tool, it is always better for someone else to measure the person needing to be fitted. After you have the measurements, send the form by email info@ultrashieldrace.com. We will look at your measurements and make a decision on what seat would fit your application via phone or email. Most people fit in our standard sizes, but if a custom seat is needed the cost is $150-$250.
If you are unsure if you need a custom seat or what size seat you need, download and fill out the Seat Measurement Chart Below. Send the measurements to (info@ultrashieldrace.com) and we can let you know which size fits best. As a general rule seats fit as the following:
Junior - Hip & Rib width Sizes from 10" to 14"; Shoulder Belt Height at 18" standard; 10" is the narrowest we can safely make. Anything narrower and we cannot get the welding equipment inside the seat for a proper weld.
Small Adult - Hip & Rib Sizes from 13", 14", and 15" Standard; 11 & 12 by special order only. Shoulder Belt Height at 21";
Adult - Hip & Rib Width Sizes from 14" to 18"; Shoulder Belt Height at 25",
Seats with the 1" Tall Option - 1" Taller ABOVE the rib supports, Shoulder belt height, Shoulder supports, head, and head supports are adjusted 1" taller.
There is a part number etched in between the shoulder blades on all of our seats. If yours is missing, take a picture of the seat and email to (info@ultrashieldrace.com). We can identify the seat and let you know if covers are available for that model and what the cost and lead time will be. We typically can make covers for seats up to 5 years since they were discontinued.
