I need to ship my front seats off for upholstery. Given the nature of shipping, I would like to insure them for something near replacement cost for the seat frames and conforfoam cushions.
I cannot find any listing on "the List" to give a price, and the plans don't have a part number. Anyone have what Van's would charge (or is it Oregon Aero?) to replace the seats if the shipping company lost them or put a fork lift through the box?

I've tried to get a quote for the seats so we could use them in other planes. The short answer is they're only available to Vans and Vans doesn't sell the seats outright. I imagine you could get replacements if they were damaged, but it wouldn't be a straightforward order.
During my efforts I did glean the cost for a pair of seats...$15,000. Three zeros. Why the seats are more than the finish kit is beyond me. That price was from Oregon Aero before they told me they weren't actually for sale.
Get a quote from Vans before you insure them. Or take them to upholstery yourself!

Finish kit is $15,000 and change now. Includes main gear, engine mount, cowling, wheel pants and fairings, among other items. So it sounds like 2/3 the cost is the front seats. That seems hugely out of line for cushions that are worth maybe $500 and aluminum frame with canvass seat bottom. That will definitely put insurance cost above shipping cost.

The reason why I got a price for seats was that I have been buying my finish kit as I needed parts of it and I need the seats soon. I called about one year ago and asked how much and it took about a day or so and they called me back with 4,400.00 plus shipping for the pair with foam. I did have to provide my kit number.

I talked to Oregon Aero also about the seats and the only way they could sell them to me was as certified models that are used in other aircraft. He told me the same seat is used in three other aircraft but He could not sell a "RV10" seat because of the agreement with Van's.
