They sure look like MK seats to me!

I was going to say the same thing hellfire!

i think they look a lot better than my old intatrim voyagers, any ideas on the best way to mark holes for my studs to go through

Cheers Kev glad you like them mate.

Any chance of a picture or 3?

Cheers
Mark.

Kev,
Make a template in card then transfer that to the floor.....or put studs in seats then blob of summat wet so it marks the floor (or is that another daft idea!!)

Cheers
Mark

Can you make a fat boy version of that seat for my single seater?

Mr Lotus bloke......funny you say that because i have just the very thing.....looks similar but wider in the kidney area and big blokes fit them with ease....ooo and they still fit the Locost chassis

The mould needs a bit more time to cure before i can start making them though.
Cheers
Mark

Sounds good mate, can you drop me an email with an idea of price.
Cheers

I've got these seats too, just fitting them and wonder how you go about cutting the side holes for the harnesses???

Once cut I assume you need to trim them in some sort of non-abrasive edging.

fitting them tonight and tomorrow triton. i'll get some good pics for you tomorrow if it's dry.been to work in it today with the seats loose, they're so much better than intatrims(for me) cheers kev

here's some pics for you triton. well pleased with the seats cheers kev

Car looks damn fine matey

Triton are you going to Exeter show next month?
I am contimplating changing my seats as I want to sit lower. I could do with seeing a pair. Trouble is I'm down in Devon. Unless there is someone local who has some I can see.

Not got a stand but i might be going to be nosey....If i don't i know somebody that will be there,maybe i could see if that certain bod would take a seat along so you can have a look....I will ask the question.

Mark

That would be much appreciated.

Lightning - I'll be at Donny and can bring a low back Wizard Hat one if that's any help?

Pat...

Thanks Pat, but I can't make it to Donny this year.

The seats will be at Exeter show..whether i am or not....

New moulds all but ready to rock n roll so the cut down one and the wider version will be at Exeter......

Hi Triton, are you taking any of your seats to Donny this weekend?

Or, is anyone with Triton's seats already fitted going to Donny?

I really want to "try before I buy" as it were....

Cheers,
Rob.

i'll be at donny in my indy with tritons seats feel free to take a look

Can I have two of your excellent seats young man. I'll send a U2U

Well there was me thinking 40 was old....

Not as old as me, sadley

Cheers got u2u and sent one in return

Mark

Talk about hot cakes....crikey

After all this positive feedback, how comfy are the seats??

anyone who has them ever tried a long-ish journey, or are they really only for trackday use?

They are surprisingly comfortable. In fact they are so comfortable, you forget they're made of GRP.

I would say as comfy as a good pair of slippers

ok - last question!

do you do a smoothie with padded inserts?

or did i make that up?

if so, how much, etc etc

seats are well comfy jumpy guy i did about 150miles on sunday,and no probs, my advice is just get some they're real good value too!!!and look cool check out my archive.

Ouch!

Sat in Guinness's indy yesterday! Or should i say didnt sit in it! couldnt get my arse fully in!

What you get for being big boned!!

Thats my excuse!!!!


nice seats thou! would i need a +4 chassis to get anything wider in???

[Edited on 24-10-05 by zzrpowerd-locost]

[Edited on 24-10-05 by zzrpowerd-locost]

You don't need a +4" chassis you need a -4" arse , or some seats without sides.

cheeky git!

yeah your arse bones must be massive ha ha ha ha sorry!!!!

Well to be fair it was my hips! Seat was to tight there! Any ideas??

Think i have left myself open to a volley of abuse

i think mark(triton) does one with no side holes for your harnesses,it's basically the same but cut down a lot at the side.

By the way Mark, Mike tells me you are looking into making airbox's.

How you getting on??

Like this one perhaps?
Rescued attachment Airbox 2.jpg

COOL! price mark?

For all of you out there looking for bigger seats I can vouch for the size,quality and comfort of Mr Tritons latest offering "The Big Boy"
Please pester him with questions,but it will fit in a Locost,he's ready to make them and they don't have to be black.
Cash will do nicely Mark.

robinbastd,
Damn fine bloke this one...little mad but we like mad.

Mark

Mr Triton.
I'll have a pair of your BigBoys once the dust has settled at the dingaling.

Mr robinbastd,
No problem just let me know when and what colour.
Cheers
Mark

The post SVA modifications continue, with some padding of Mr Triton's exceedingly good seats.

For those who haven't seen them, they come as a bare shell (before) and two seperate fibre glass shells, one for the base and one for the back.

I'm no expert (as you can tell from the photos) but last night I decided to upholster my seats. Upholster might be too strong a word for it! Fit cushions and cover them.

We cut some foam to size, stuck it down to the shells, stretched the vinyl over them and used a glue gun to stick the vinyl down.

Then fitted velcro to the backs of the shells and to the seats and fitted them. Lovely job.

Will the BIGBOYS fit my fury?Do they come with inserts
regards chris

How wide is the your Fury between cockpit and sides as the wide seats are 430mm but can be trimmed down a tad

Mark

I can vouch for the quality and fit of these beauties as well Looks like I'll have a bit of room to 'grow' as well

Yes you did here I'm moving or should i say moved....now in Cornwall

And a warm welcome to sunny Cornwall matey.

T-shirt weather in November

You wish !!

Jason

Seriously it was today...not exactly hot but in the SUN it was nice......huge bonfire might have helped though

Have you met any "locals" yet?
I just hope there wasn't a witch tied to a stake in that bonfire.
Nice seats BTW

Helicopters aplenty buzzing about which is better than the constant drone of the M1....Locals are friendly

There are other things that drone down here though.
Nice seats BTW.

Back to normal by the end of the week as far as seat making goes.....with a website when time permits.

Yeah they are smart seats tamuchly

Might have to pop down to Exeter again soon to do some work at the Court, might have to sort the timming of it as well if the camera snapped me going to the show last weekend Do you think the timing is too soon

Jason

Jason
When do you think you will be down at Exeter ........speedy camera get you then?....ooppss.

No idea of date to come down,,, soon though, some of there windows don't work so should be soonish, might also be the boss going instead so will wait and see and keep dropping hints Camera was the first 1 into the road works, it was a smaller/thinner camera than I'm used to and had a plcy bag over it,, I'm hoping it is a distance trip type between two of them as i was actually slowing down to the limit and stayed below it through to the last camera
