Hi,

I've been reading through posts on this site for some time and found it to be a great source of information.

We recently bought a more or less finished MK Indy that we are in the process of modifying and rebuilding to meet our requirements in readiness for this year's track days.

One of our modifications was to fit a full roll cage sourced from MK which we have now welded in. The only problem is with the current seats in (Cobras) there isn't enough room for me with a helmet on!

A friend has an Indy with the bare MK seats fitted with a full cage and I have no problems in that, therefore by fitting something similar I should be OK. I've found Triton seats mentioned on here several times and am keen to get a set, but I have a couple of questions....

Can they be fitted to runners and if so which ones have people used?

I assume the seats come without any mounting holes so I am free to decide the angle at which they are mounted?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the fold.

Tritons seats have 4 M8 threaded bosses bonded into the base and plenty of folk on here have used OEM runners out of Metros, Escort etc.

You can simply space the runners to get the desired angle.

Thanks very much for your prompt reply... I'll be sending a U2U to Mr Triton Very shortly!

i changed from cobra to fibreglass for sva reasons, i simply modified the runners i had - the bolts were slightly closer together. Just drilled two holes and all is well and good

Sounds like I won't even have to go scavenging round scrap yards then! Excelent!

you save height with grp shell seats but bear in mind that often adding runners will lose you a lot of what you have gained.

If you use landrover runners you won't add too much height as bum perching section is 20mm proud of the feet where the fixings are..

Still no damn sparky today!!! doing my head a power of good....not!

try these they are very good quality.

A local Mini owner has used Suzuki Swift seat runners on the wide seats and as canny as a canny thing will fit my other seats as they share same design base.......

When available I will post a picture of them fitted to the seats and the seats fitted in his convertible clubman.
