The seats fit into the Avon with 2" either side to spare (very skinny seats).
When i first sat in them in the car i hated them, my fat arse felt like it was hanging off either side!!
I am in the process of making my own seats.. so i might not use the cubs.
saying that i hate them is a little unfair the quality is what you would expect of a seat costing £50 and if you sit in them for a little while they
are surprisingly comfy, one thing i am not totaly happy about is they are quite tall and this means i will have to have the steering wheel higher than
i would like and because the seat back is just as thick it has pushed me further forward than i have allowed for my pedal box..
All in all they are worth the money and will fit any thing in fact they fit (with ease) into my race seat!
i would suggest you go and have a look at them and sit in them for a minimum of 15 mins.
Best of luck.

thats where i got mine from.
i believe Northern wheels used to advertise these seats in the kit car mags. i do recall the chap saying that they didn't have many left when i
bought mine.
How soon do you need? them as i might be selling mine soon.

I have a pair as well - they do look small, but I manage to fit on them OK (and I'm not exactly skinny! )
I didn't use the runners (they were crap) so my sitting position is really low - I reckon my bum is only an inch or two off the floor. I found that
putting the seat against the back panel gave me just the right seating position, so I left it at that.
cheers,
David

I won't be needing the seats for a while yet so if you decide you want to sell yours I would be interested. How far have you got with your avon build
now? Ive been a bit slow with mine only just starting to fit the ally panels.

i have just finished building up the rear (pics in photos) as you can see its a bit different to what tiger intended, the tiger supplied wishbones
were somewhat, errr how to put this? shite is the only word i can think of, as a welder/fabricator by trade the wishbones scared me silly..I hope
yours are better.
good luck with your build.
