Leather Vs Cloth; Aviator Vs Sportsman

Does the Sportsman series also use the integrated back? I thought only the Aviator did.

No, you'll use the Van's seat backs.

Or another possibility would be to use individual cables. This would put the "split" back in the tail cone.

I don't think two cables would work, because I would need to have two routes (on each side) through the baggage bulkhead.
If two belt end brackets will fit into the cable clevis, then that might be an option. With it splitting that far back it should ride past the headrest correctly.

So where does I guy go to find such a thing?

So have you considered sheepskin? I know Classic doesn't offer this, and frankly I'm surprised that none of the major suppliers seems to.

Look into the cockpit of any airliner and you'll see sheepskin covers. They are neither cold nor hot, they absorb sweat, and are really comfortable. I've had them in my RV-8 since the beginning (3+ years) and love them. Ask Classic if they'd consider it. (To anticipate your question, I got mine from Becky Orndorff.)

Just a thought.
