Mac seat sizes
Just seen the seat offer here -> linky
Firstly how robust are they, I'm wanting them for an off road buggy so they'll probably see a hard life. 
Secondly can someone run a tape-measure over theirs if they have them. I Need these:

O/T for your question, but those carbon fibre scuttles in the background look tasty!

Ive only got the other type of seats so no help sorry.
If I'm not mistaken they are the aeroscreens in the background - and i agree - they do look tasty

Hi Ian,
We have a pair of these waiting to be fitted. I can measure the dimensions next time I am at the workshop if no one answers before. As for the
robustness ours get taken in and out of the car every time we work on it as they just sit loose. They have been dropped on a few occassions and
regularly get used when testing pedals steering etc. This involves a kind of rocking in them because they are not fixed.
They still look good as new - Quality seats IMHO.
Cheers, would appreciate it.
I have twin problems with seats what with the pie 'issue' and having a chassis that tapers rather more quickly than a 7 - yes it is
rather cozy. Lotus elise seats fit, but I'd prefer something that's completely waterproof.
Got a u2u from Colin saying 440mm at widest point, which is only a problem if the widest point is 'A' on the diagram.

I must admit to not taking the "they'll be with you tomorrow" quote completely seriously. But I'm very impressed with the
service.
A quick lookover and they look perfect, and to be honest the photo doesn't do the subframes justice.
Had a quick sit in and lets just say the FBs were required  but they seem very comfortable once in
