Just fitted a new seat of seats, really comfy except that the gelcoat is rather slippery and unless I tighten the seatbelts till I have difficulty breathing I'm like a bar of soap in a tub as I go around corners.

What do you guys use on anyone who has similar seats?

I used to have trouble with my kart seat, the answer came from my missus's bum, in the form of jodphurs there is a company that sell sticky bum jodphurs so i asked them for some material, stuck it to my seat and problem solved, the company name is, Gorringe, google it and see if they will sell you some, it's a lycra base with with a textured rubber coating.
Worked a treat.

Drop them an Email and ask for the fabric used on the seat panel of the 'sticky bum' jodhpurs,here's a link, with different colours, http://www.gorringe.com/products_proseat.htm

You need the lighter coloured bit around the arse

Thepest,

According to my carriers Malta is same price as Germany, France etc so a pair of high or low sides shipped to Malta would be £245.00.

Cheers,
Mark

Ops I just misread the thread, I thought it was 245 for just the shipping!

Sorry Trition

I wouldn't bother doing this if shipping was that mad as I wouldn't pay that much and doubt anyone else would either.

Price included posties bit.


They look cool in orange gel coat backed in gulf blue and can't wait to see pics of the car as kinda running an orange n blue theme I think....ahem if you are reading this Steve..
